BAGUIO CITY, Philippines—Bureau of Immigration (BI) Commissioner Norman Tansingco urged residents of Baguio and nearby areas to report any suspected illegal aliens to their intelligence team during the forthcoming service caravan.

Drawing on the successful reports received during the Mindanao leg of its “Bagong Immigration” caravan, Tansingco emphasizes the crucial role community vigilance plays in maintaining border security and upholding immigration laws.

“As we embark on our service caravan, we urge the community to report suspicious activities or individuals in their respective areas,” he stated.

Tansingco stressed the agency’s commitment to addressing concerns related to illegal immigration and highlights the importance of citizen participation the fight against illegal aliens.

He added community members are highly encouraged to report foreign sex predators and sex tourists, which the BI is prioritizing under the agency’s #Shieldkids campaign.

The third leg of the BI’s service caravan is scheduled for May 8 at Cap-John Hay Trade and Cultural Center in Baguio City. The caravan offers expedited processing for various BI transactions, including tourist visa extensions, exit clearances, dual citizenship applications, and other essential clearances.

If only our home countries were so zealous.

You'd be immediately labelled a 'racist' of course, and threatened with jail.

Quite true. And also a civil lawsuit filed against you would likely follow.

On the flip side, this gives Filipinos the opportunity to report foreign neighbors whom they don't like.  No consequences for the tipster.  The foreign is first arrested, and their guilt or innocence to be determined later.

There's been a several thousand peso 'reward' scheme running for a few years now, for people 'ratting out' poriners (okay...some perhaps deservedly so).
