In a recent operation at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 in Pasay City, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) detained a 35-year-old Filipino man who was trying to travel to Cambodia under dubious conditions. The individual, who first stated he was en route to Hanoi, Vietnam, on a Cebu Pacific flight, later confessed during a secondary inspection that his actual destination was Cambodia, lured by a job offer he received via a recruitment on Facebook. He was promised employment at a business process outsourcing (BPO) firm, with further instructions delivered through the Telegram app. The BI noted that such BPOs are frequently used by criminal syndicates as covers for various scams, including online fraud and catfishing. In a separate incident, BI agents in Nueva Ecija apprehended 67-year-old American Michael Lewis Ginsberg, who is wanted in the US for sexual assault and is currently facing deportation proceedings for overstaying his visa.
