A Chinese national, Wu Zhishi, 45, was arrested by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) in Daet, Camarines Norte for misrepresenting himself as a Filipino. The arrest took place on June 25 in Purok 3, Barangay V in Daet town. Wu was using illegally-acquired government-issued documents to pass as a Filipino in various transactions in the area.
BI agents, along with operatives from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC), posed as customers at Wu's business. During the operation, Wu presented an expired Retiree’s Visa card and falsely denied using a fake Philippine identity to obtain a firearm’s license.
Following the arrest, Wu was handed over to the PAOCC, but the BI retains legal custody as he faces deportation proceedings. Immigration Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado expressed concern over the misuse of Philippine documents by illegal aliens, emphasizing the national security risks posed by such actions. Viado called for stricter measures to ensure that only legitimate Filipinos can obtain official identification cards.
Viado highlighted the importance of reviewing policies on document issuance to prevent similar incidents in the future.
