00:00It is being pointed out to the camera the spread of Peking passport and birth certificates abroad.
00:06According to the law, this is considered a threat to national security.
00:11The Bureau of Immigration is also tightening its grip on this.
00:14Mela Lesmora with the report.
00:16They are investigating the spread of Peking Filipino birth certificate and Philippine passport in several groups of foreigners in the country.
00:33In his House Resolution No. 1802, Adjong is pushing for the House Committee on Local Government and Committee on Justice to issue an Issue in Aid of Legislation.
00:45According to Adjong, this fraud incident is considered a threat to national security.
00:50It is also affecting the integrity of the country's identification system.
00:55If we use our citizenship or passport in another place,
01:02for example, to be involved in an illegal activity, that puts us in a very bad light.
01:11That's number one.
01:12And number two, the identity goes along with your rights.
01:16Your right to loan.
01:18For example, if you are an employee, your chances to be entitled to all benefits coming from the government.
01:30You are entitled to cut your vote, exercise your civic duty.
01:34So it should not be misinterpreted.
01:38A few days ago, a Chinese national was stopped by the Bureau of Immigration in Naia Terminal 3.
01:45According to BI's spokesperson, Dana Sandoval, he used a Peking Philippine passport to enter the country.
01:52He also showed a birth certificate of late registration.
01:56The people of the BI noticed that the movement of the foreigner was suspicious.
02:00After the verification and secondary inspection, it was confirmed that he is a Chinese passport holder.
02:06We can see that the syndicates involved in giving Philippine documents to foreign nationals are still at work.
02:18Specifically, this person is a holder of a permanent residence visa here in the Philippines with his Chinese identity.
02:25But maybe he used his Philippine passport to evade some things that we still don't know why he did it.
02:34The BI believes that it is not isolated.
02:37That's why they continue to monitor the foreigners entering the country.
02:41Last week, two Filipinos who are suspected to be fake were stopped by the agency in Naia.
02:48It's time for the Congress to return to session next week.
02:52It is expected that this issue will also be discussed on camera.
