Dateline Kamuning Bureau of Immigration (BI) Commissioner Norman Tansingco vowed to prioritize overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) traveling in and out of the country this holiday season. According to Tansingco, they have recently rolled out the latest update of their Border Control Information System (BCIS), which is the centralized database of all travel records of incoming and outgoing passengers. The system is a database sharing information that would allow the BI access to DMW’s OEC records, lessening paperwork for departing OFWs. Apart from faster processing, the system also allowed BI officers to immediately verify and intercept fake OECs upon presentation by illegal recruitment and human trafficking victims.
