00:00 The Justice Department has seen the use of pecking companies to get a Philippine visa from some Chinese.
00:09 So it will recommend to the President to get a company to investigate the visa applications.
00:16 Salima Refran is on the case.
00:21 After the Pastillas scam where they are spinning money like pastillas to the immigration personnel to enter the country,
00:30 the DOJ discovered a new way to infiltrate the system to get a Philippine visa from the Chinese.
00:38 I have been in the know for more than 10 days, pecking companies that use to issue visas.
00:51 And this is happening in the legal department of the Bureau of Immigration and Deportation.
00:58 And this is happening through the Secretary of State.
01:01 Officials that should be, I will just study if they are still allowed to be there.
01:06 Aside from the Bureau of Immigration, there are also lawyers and travel agencies that are being equipped to legally allow the Chinese to enter the Philippines.
01:16 They are already investigating this.
01:19 Why are the Chinese entering our country?
01:22 It's not true that they are submitting information to our embassy.
01:29 That's our problem with our visa issuing system.
01:33 The DFA has no ability to evaluate our China visas.
01:40 Remulia is recommending to President Bongbong Marcos that instead of the DFA,
01:45 he should get a third-party company that will investigate the visa applications.
01:50 He mentioned VFS Global, which is also being used by other countries to validate the documents that are being submitted by visa applicants
01:59 so that it can be easily assessed if they are allowed to enter the country.
02:04 The issue of visa is a very clerical function.
02:09 It is about submitting data that you are qualified to enter the country
02:14 and then for us to validate if the data submitted is valid or not.
02:20 If, like VFS, the third-party provider, looks at it, it's easy for them to validate it inside China.
02:28 GMA Integrated News is also getting the Panig Department of Foreign Affairs to be the Bureau of Immigration.
02:36 For GMA Integrated News, Salima Refra, Tutok 24 Horas.
