2 Chinese nationals arrested at NAIA for fake ECCs

Two Chinese nationals were apprehended at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) for attempting to leave the Philippines using counterfeit emigration clearance certificates (ECCs).

The arrested individuals, identified as Wang Changru (53) and Cui Wen (33), were intercepted on January 24 before boarding a flight to Hong Kong.

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) discovered that the ECCs presented by the Chinese nationals, which claimed they were authorized to stay until February, were fake.

Both individuals had overstayed their visas, having originally arrived in the Philippines in 2019.

The BI has initiated deportation proceedings against them for violating the Philippine Immigration Act of 1940.
