Senator Grace Poe took to social media to remind air passengers who will go on vacation this Holy Week to be vigilant against abusive immigration officials following the viral offloading incident at the NAIA. | ManilaBulletin
On Tiktok, Poe cited the experience of one @chamtanteras, a Filipino passenger intending to travel to Israel, who ranted about her negative experience in the hands of an immigration officer in detail on social media.
‘Cham’ complained she was asked “irrelevant” queries about her, even to the extent of demanding her to produce her school yearbook. This caused the traveler to miss her flight despite being at the airport for several hours before the scheduled time of departure.“Sino ba naman talaga sa atin ang nagdadala ng yearbook pag nagba-biyahe tayo ?” Poe pointed out.
“Kapag alam mong niloloko ka na, pwede kang mag report within 30 days or less dahil may CCTV sila sa airport at maari itong imbestigahan ,” she pointed out.“Dahil sa kanyang pag po post, maraming salamat marami sa atin ang nagka idea na ganyan pala minsan ang nangyayari sa immigration ,” the senator said.“Nakakalungkot hindi lang si Cham ang nakaranas ng ganitong uri ng harassment dito sa IO. Marami naging biktima dyan kaya nga tinawag yang IO horror stories.
Poe vowed to look into other more cases of offloading, and other issues hounding passengers and commuters.“Pero alam mo may masasamang loob talaga dyan na gagawa at gagawa yan ng kalokohan. Kaya bilang mga Pilipino, kelangan iangat natin ang antas ng ating reputasyon ng ating bansa. I-report ninyo ang ganyang uri ng aktibidad na nakakasama di lamang sa inyo kundi sa imahe din ng ating bansa ,” Poe stressed.
