BI to deport 8 foreigners caught in Muntinlupa scam raid

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) is set to deport eight foreigners, including seven Chinese nationals and one Vietnamese national, who were apprehended for illegally staying in Muntinlupa City.

The foreigners were arrested on October 22 in Ayala Alabang Village after being found to be undocumented, with some overstaying or suspected of illegal entry.

Items used for online scamming were reportedly seized from the suspects by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).

The BI Commissioner noted that these arrests may indicate the formation of smaller scamming hubs following the closure of larger Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) establishments.

Deportation cases will be filed against the apprehended individuals, who will be deemed undesirables once their cases are resolved.
