An Indonesian who was among the 42 foreigners arrested by the Philippine Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) in Bagac, Bataan was deported to his own
An Indonesian who was among the 42 foreigners arrested by the Philippine Anti-Organized Crime Commission in Bagac, Bataan was deported to his own country, according to the Bureau of Immigration. Handoyo Salman was ordered deported for being wanted in Indonesia for violating information and electronic transactions, money laundering crimes, and for being a fugitive from justice.
Meanwhile, BI Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado clarified that 41 other foreign nationals arrested in Bataan are still undergoing deportation proceedings. Viado issued this clarification following reports that the foreigners were freed without proper immigration receipts. However, Viado emphasized that the cases remain active, with the BI committed to pursuing due process in compliance with the directive from Malacañang. “These individuals are still facing deportation cases on grounds of undesirability. However, their physical custody has been transferred under recognizance to Bataan Representative Albert Garcia and their legal counsel,” he explained. Viado said that Garcia, as the public official overseeing the area where the foreigners were arrested, offered the necessary legal guarantee within his jurisdiction.
