00:00The issue being investigated in the House of Representatives is the extensive process of obtaining special visas for foreigners,
00:08particularly for Chinese nationals in the country.
00:10There are those who were able to obtain a retiree's visa even though they are only 35 years old.
00:17There are also those who have an investor's visa even though they are just simple employees.
00:23Here is Mela Lesmora in detail.
00:25The leader of the House of Representatives is now in charge of the Chinese nationals in the country
00:33because of the extensive process of obtaining a retiree's and investor's visa in the Philippines for foreigners.
00:40According to the House Speaker Martin Romualdez,
00:45House Deputy Majority Leader Erwin Tulfo has signed House Resolution No. 1771
00:51which pushes for an investigation into the issue of special resident retirees' visas and special investor's resident visas in the Philippines,
01:00as well as the system of delayed registration of births in the country,
01:04which may lead to the spread of Chinese nationals in the Philippines.
01:09According to information obtained by Tulfo,
01:12of the more than 78,000 foreign retirees in the Philippines,
01:1530,000 are Chinese nationals,
01:17but it is rare for them to obtain a visa.
01:22What is surprising is that they are not yet retired,
01:25but they are already able to obtain a visa because their ages are 35 to 50.
01:31So it's good that a couple of years ago,
01:34it was increased to 50 years old.
01:36Otherwise, it is too much abuse.
01:39It's the same with the investor's visa.
01:41There are no millions invested here, but there are investor's visas.
01:45Others are just workers of POGO, but they have investor's visas.
01:50You see that, they're just employees.
01:53In the issue of late registration of births,
01:55Congressman Tulfo gave an example, suspended Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Goh.
02:00She said that the process should be tightened so that it won't be abused.
02:05It's time for the camera to start the investigation.
02:08Will they invite the mayor?
02:10Definitely, definitely.
02:12We need to know how he did it.
02:15His parents don't know who his parents are.
02:19How did it happen?
02:20It's like, it's like a bullet in the head,
02:22but there's a birth certificate, right?
02:25There's a Philippine passport.
02:26How did it happen?
02:27This is what we want from the Congress.
02:29We need to know because it was abused.
02:31Congressman Tulfo said that in order to resolve the crimes and anomalies committed by Chinese nationals in the country,
02:38the problem should be addressed to its root.
02:42If the basis is sufficient, the camera is ready to record the deportation of foreigners who violate our law.
02:49I think we really start to look at our Bakuran now.
02:54If it needs to be cleaned, let's clean it.
02:56If we need to send some people home, let's send some people home because there's a problem.
03:01Tulfo also said that they will continue to listen to the conversations in the West Philippine Sea
03:05when the camera is back in session.
03:08While Congressmen are waiting for the Congress to return to session,
03:14they continue to focus on the important issues of society.
