Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla pledged to strengthen border security measures in 2025, emphasizing that the Philippines will not be a safe haven for international criminals. This comes after the Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested and blacklisted a Japanese fugitive wanted for scamming a fellow Japanese citizen.
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla vowed on Tuesday to intensify this year the country’s border control measures to prevent the entry of foreign fugitives. 'PH is no haven for international criminals, this is my final warning to undesirable aliens who may attempt to push their luck in our country. You have no place here,’ Remulla stressed.He said stricter measures are expected to be imposed in all entry and exit points throughout the country.
Remulla commended the Bureau of Immigration (BI) for its swift and decisive action that led to the arrest and impending deportation of a Japanese fugitive. The BI arrested and blacklisted a Japanese national wanted abroad for scamming a compatriot of approximately ¥3 million. By virtue of a standing court order in Omiya, Japan, the BI Fugitive Search Unit arrested Japanese national Yokota Tetsuya in Binondo, Manila last week. Tokyo authorities disclosed that Tetsuya and his accomplices scammed a fellow Japanese of ¥2.75 million by making fraudulent calls about the right to enter a nursing home
