00:00A Taiwanese passenger is being complained for offloading the way an immigration officer asked at Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

00:10According to the Bureau of Immigration, there is a famous travel pattern where the passenger is always the first in the news of Niko Wahe Exclusive.

00:22Brazil C is ready to travel to Taiwan for a 3-day 2-night vacation.

00:27On his March 5 flight, he made a video at IA Terminal 3 out of excitement.

00:32His wife gave him a ticket to Taiwan as a gift.

00:35But the plan to unwind became stressful after the offloading.

00:40When I arrived at the immigration booth, there were no more questions.

00:45The immigration officer immediately followed me to my office.

00:50Then I waited for a few minutes before they called my name.

00:56Then I waited for a few minutes before they called my name.

00:59I immediately followed an immigration officer.

01:02Here he was asked again if he did something wrong.

01:05I was surprised.

01:07How many times have you traveled?

01:10I said, this is the second time.

01:12Then he asked me, why are you going to Taiwan?

01:17I said, I will just unwind because I have a depression this past month.

01:23I had a miscarriage before.

01:26He thought he had something to do with the first offloading incident in October 2024.

01:31He was supposed to go to Hong Kong with his friends when they were offloaded by immigration.

01:37But their friends left Hong Kong in November 2024 and went straight to Jeju Island in South Korea.

01:45On their way home, they took a connecting flight via Taiwan.

01:49What he didn't like were the questions that he thought were unnecessary.

01:54Like, do you have a child?

01:57Ask for your bank statement.

02:00Do you have a husband?

02:02What is your husband's job?

02:03When I said that my husband is in the government, he suddenly asked, what is your husband's rank?

02:09Brazil's offloading brought a lot of trauma.

02:14They even talked about the flight and hotel accommodations that cost up to Php30,000.

02:20Even though I have proof that I can afford to travel,

02:25I don't have the right to multi-city travel.

02:31According to the Bureau of Immigration, there is a weak travel pattern that was seen in Brazil.

02:36There are inconsistencies in his statements and documents that were shown.

02:42He also saw suspicious travel patterns in the trips that were presented.

02:50The BIA said that it's not detailed because it's private.

02:53But it's usually seen in the itinerary of the tourist.

02:56The itinerary of an individual is part of the things that we are looking into,

03:03as well as this pattern that was seen in previous cases of human trafficking.

03:09If this travel pattern keeps on repeating, for example, or it was seen in an individual,

03:16and this is the pattern that was repeatedly seen in previous cases of human trafficking victims,

03:22it becomes a red flag for the immigration officer who is assessing the traveler in front of him.

03:30The former record of Brazil's offloading was also unknown.

03:34That's why this happened again.

03:36According to other questions, Brazil thinks that the BIA should not investigate this.

03:42Hearing that, the position or rank of the partner would not be part of the regular questions of an immigration officer

03:54because it does not say anything about the travel.

03:57Will the charges of flight and hotel be brought back?

04:00We can see that there are lapses in the action of the immigration officer.

04:07It is well within the right of the subject to request what he sees that needs action against the officer or in his case.

04:20Brazil could also complain to the Bureau of Immigration if he thinks there's no reason for him to be offloaded.

04:27This is the first news for GMA Integrated News.
