Chinese man posing as Filipino arrested
A Chinese national, identified as 45-year-old Wu Zhishi, was apprehended by intelligence agents of the Bureau of Immigration in Daet, Camarines Norte, for allegedly impersonating a Filipino citizen using fraudulent government documents.
He reportedly obtained a firearm license using fake Philippine identification cards.
Wu Zhishi denied the accusations and presented an expired retiree's visa card as proof of his status.
Immigration Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado highlighted the national security risks posed by foreigners using fake identities to embed themselves in society and potentially engage in illegal activities.
Viado also stressed the importance of reviewing policies on the issuance of Philippine documents to prevent future occurrences.
The arrested Chinese man is currently undergoing deportation proceedings for violating Philippine immigration laws and is in the custody of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC).
This incident follows a previous arrest last month where three foreign nationals pretending to be Filipinos were apprehended in Zamboanga del Sur.
