Viado welcomes PBBM statement on BI 'corruption' probe
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. is reviewing a complaint filed by anonymous Bureau of Immigration (BI) employees against BI Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado.
The complaint accuses Viado of intervening in favor of three Chinese nationals allegedly linked to a raided POGO hub in Parañaque City and blocking their transfer to the BI Warden Facility.
Viado has denied the allegations, calling them "patently false" and suggesting a smear campaign.
Marcos confirmed he is reviewing the complaint, stating that the government would not ignore its contents despite its lack of signatures and specific details.
Viado welcomed the President's statement and expressed trust in an impartial investigation.
Justice Assistant Secretary Mico Clavano stated that the BI has followed the President's directive to ban and deport all POGOs.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro urged concerned Immigration employees to provide evidence to support their accusations.
