International Roundup
The Inquirer of the Philippines reports that the Bureau of Immigration has begun a nationwide sweep of organizations that create and distribute fake travel documents after a number of Filipino travelers attempting to leave the country with the false documents were arrested at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport .
Immigration Commissioner Marcelino Libanan said he has ordered BI agents at the airport to check the travel papers of all travelers and to identify members of the criminal organizations by questioning those caught with fake documents. "These passport and visa fraud syndicates have been plying their nefarious activities for so long and preying on ordinary people who, for economic reasons, are enticed to carry spurious documents in order to travel and search for greener pastures abroad," Libanan said.
