THE Bureau of Immigration defended on Tuesday its existing policy barring travelers from taking photos and videos of immigration personnel while at the immigration areas of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport .
Furthermore, the signages warned travelers that “any form of slander against the immigration personnel is prohibited under the Cyberbullying law” and that “posting of photos/videos without the consent of the immigration personnel is a direct violation of the Data Privacy Act.”“The policy of disallowing photos and videos in the immigration area is not new, and similar signages have been posted in the past,” Tansingco said.
“While the policy remains, I have instructed the BI airport management to temporarily remove the signages for them to be improved,” he stated. Tansingco said Philippine-bound travelers are expected to reach 30,000 a day during this season and 34,000 daily departures.
