DOJ issues lookout bulletin vs. Bamban mayor, 17 others
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued an Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order (ILBO) against suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Guo and 17 other individuals, directing the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to monitor their movements and prevent them from leaving the country.
The ILBO was signed by Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla and has been forwarded to the BI for immediate implementation.
This measure is taken due to the gravity of the charges faced by the individuals, as they might try to evade legal processes by fleeing the country.
The BI has confirmed it has begun implementing the ILBO.
Additionally, the DOJ announced it will ask the court this week for a precautionary hold departure order (PHDO) against Guo and the 17 others who face charges of non-bailable qualified trafficking in persons.
Once granted, a PHDO can prevent the respondents from leaving the country while the DOJ conducts its preliminary investigation.
A PHDO can be converted into a hold departure order (HDO) once a case is filed with the court.
