35 persons linked to flood control mess placed on BI monitoring list
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) is monitoring 35 individuals implicated in anomalous flood control projects following an Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order (ILBO) issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado confirmed receiving the ILBO on Wednesday afternoon, instructing immigration officers to closely watch the listed names.
The order, signed by Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla, was a result of requests from Senator Rodante Marcoleta, chair of the Committee on Accountability of Public Officers and Investigations, and lawyer Rodolfo Noel Quimbo, Director General of the Blue Ribbon Oversight Office Management.
This action is linked to the Senate inquiry into alleged malfeasance, misfeasance, and nonfeasance in flood control projects initiated in 2022.
The ILBO includes specific names such as Alex and Raymond Abelido, Cezarah Discaya, Ma. Roma Discaya Rimando, and Allan Quirante, along with 30 others.
The BI is tasked with monitoring these individuals due to the seriousness of the allegations and the ongoing investigation, as there's a high likelihood they might attempt to leave the country to evade legal proceedings.
