Pinoy couple using fake visa intercepted
A Filipino couple was prevented from leaving the Philippines after immigration officers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport discovered they were using fake visas for the Netherlands.
The couple, aged between 26 and 28, were attempting to board a flight to Amsterdam when their travel documents were found to be counterfeit by the Bureau of Immigration (BI).
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado highlighted the effectiveness of the officers' training in detecting fraudulent documents and warned the public against falling victim to such scams.
The couple reportedly paid P268,000 for their travel arrangements, which included the bogus visas.
They have since been handed over to the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) for further investigation into the matter.
