BI arrests US national for assault, overstaying

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested American national Evan Ronald Berlin, 31, on March 14 in Poblacion, Makati City.

Berlin is facing deportation for being an undesirable alien and for overstaying, as his visa extension expired in July 2023.

The arrest stemmed from a complaint filed after an incident on March 9 where Berlin allegedly assaulted a man inside a five-star hotel in Parañaque City, causing him to lose consciousness and sustain injuries.

The altercation reportedly occurred after the complainant confronted Berlin for allegedly sexually assaulting his wife.

BI Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado stated that Berlin will undergo deportation proceedings for overstaying and undesirability.

A Makati court had previously issued a warrant for Berlin's arrest on September 13 last year due to charges of physical injury and violation of the Safe Space Act.
