The Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested and set to deport a Chinese national who was being searched by authorities for allegedly misrepresenting himself as a Filipino.
Suspect Tai Fai Ching, 60, was nabbed in Ermita, Manila on Tuesday, May 16 after a warrant of deportation was issued against him in July last year for being an undesirable alien.
Tai allegedly assumed the name of one Albert Torres Abaya and has been using the fictitious identity in filing incorporation papers, acquiring a driver’s license, registering his business, as well as in other public documents, according to the Immigration bureau. The suspect is currently detained at the BI facility in Taguig pending his deportation. He will also be included in the country’s immigration blacklist, which will perpetually ban him from entering the Philippines.
“Aliens who flaunt and make a mockery of our immigration and citizenship laws do not deserve the privilege to stay here. They should be expelled and banned from re-entering the country,” BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco said in a statement.
