ALERT immigration officers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport arrested over the weekend a suspected Chinese masquerading as a Vanuatuan before he could board a Thai Airways flight to Bangkok.Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco on Sunday identified the passenger as Alex Cooper, 43, holder of a Vanuatu passport.Cooper was detained at the Bureau of Immigration detention facility in Taguig City. He is being investigated for having a questionable identity, for which he could be deported.
Vanuatu is an island country in Melanesia, located in the South Pacific Ocean. It is a three-hour flight from Sydney, Australia.Tansingco said aliens who misrepresent themselves by using spurious documents to enter and stay in the Philippines are liable for blatantly violating the country's immigration laws and should be expelled to their country of origin.It was learned that Cooper was put on the BI's alert list after informants tipped the bureau about his fake Vanuatu citizenship.
