BI nabs 2 Chinese nationals at NAIA using fake PH passports

Two Chinese nationals, identified as 'Dianne' and 'Myla,' were apprehended by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) on July 10 while attempting to depart for Beijing.

BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco stated that immigration officers doubted their identities when they noticed the women could not speak any Filipino language.

The older woman, identified as 'Dianne,' 61, presented a Philippine passport and birth certificate, but her birth was registered in 2002 when she was already 39 years old, and she made inconsistent statements about her identity.

The other woman, 'Myla,' attempted to use a separate counter and also raised suspicions due to inconsistencies, presenting a Philippine passport, driver's license, and UMID card.

Myla later admitted that she acquired the documents through an online contact.
