Chinese woman arrested at NAIA for misrepresenting as Filipino

A Chinese woman, identified as Wang Xiujun, was arrested by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) at NAIA Terminal 3 for allegedly misrepresenting herself as a Filipino.

The BI apprehended her after arriving from Malaysia, reportedly using the alias Cassia Palma Poliquit.

Intelligence reports and an NBI dactyloscopy cross-examination confirmed her identity matched that of 'Poliquit', who was allegedly involved in selling and distributing electric vehicles in Metro Manila using a fraudulently obtained Filipino identity.

She allegedly acquired a fake Philippine passport and birth certificate through late registration, despite being a Chinese national holding an investor's visa.

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado stated that the BI and NBI are working together to arrest individuals involved in identity theft and the illegal use of Philippine documents.

The arrested woman is currently detained at the BI warden's facility pending deportation proceedings.
