JUSTICE Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla disclosed on Tuesday that the Bureau of Immigration has recommended the grant of amnesty for illegal aliens in the country, including those working in illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations outlets.
“All of these mistreatment of aliens should stop. They should be accorded humane treatment just like ourabroad. We all pray that all Filipinos abroad are treated properly. So the foreigners in the Philippines should be accorded the same humane treatment,” he added. “China is validating the identities of the persons to be deported if they are really their nationals, if they are overstaying. The BI has already canceled visas of many of those working at the illegal POGO outlets,” Remulla disclosed.
Instead of deporting them, the cancellation of alien visas would simply allow the Chinese nationals to voluntarily exit the country within a non-extendible period of 59 days.The President’s call
