Two employees were relieved from their posts following reports of their alleged involvement in illegal activities, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) said Wednesday.

In an order signed by Commissioner Norman Tansingco on Jan. 17, the immigration officers were relieved pending investigation on allegations that they have been involved in trafficking activities at the Clark International Airport (CIA) and the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).

“We have received information that the two have links to trafficking syndicates. We are initiating an investigation to verify this information, and if there is indeed the probable cause, we shall file the appropriate case before the Department of Justice (DOJ),” he said in a statement.

 


 

Tansingco said the two personnel would temporarily be assigned to back-end office duties pending the investigation.

“While imposing penalties would be subject to the resolution of possible cases against them, we are relieving them from frontline duty to ensure unbiased investigation,” Tansingco said.

At the same time, he warned employees not to get involved in illegal activities or face administrative cases, suspension, or dismissal.

“The elimination of corruption is really one of my main targets in the Bureau. Any attempt to engage with corrupt practices shall be met with the harshest penalties possible,” he added. (PNA)

Kung may death penalty sa Pilipinas ang unang lima sa aking listahan na dapat patawan ng parusang bitay ay ang drug lord, illegal recruiter, rapist, swindler at magnanakaw sa kaban ng bayan. Sa lima, ang gusto kung pagtuunan ng pansin ay ang "illegal recruiter." Katulad ng "drug lord" ang ‘illegal recruiter’ ay marami ng winasak na tahanan. Halimaw ito na dapat tigpasin ang ulo para hindi na makapagisip pa ng mga bagong modus na ang target biktimahin ay ang mahihina, nangangailangan at kulang sa kakayahan.
