Pinay passenger intercepted over fake stamp
Immigration officers at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 intercepted a 37-year-old Filipina bound for the Netherlands due to a fake departure stamp on her passport.
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) confirmed the stamp was counterfeit after forensic analysis.
The woman admitted to hiring a fixer at NAIA Terminal 3 who promised to expedite her immigration process.
She detailed that the fixer instructed her to meet a colleague and wait for an escort who never appeared.
This incident highlights the BI's commitment to combating human trafficking, a pledge of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
BI Commissioner Atty. Joel Viado warned the public against fixers and urged Filipinos to pursue legal channels for overseas employment.
The woman was turned over to the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking for assistance.
