The immigration officer, who reportedly subjected a Filipina traveler to a lengthy interview that later made her miss her flight, has been relieved from his post and reassigned to a back office. | BPinlacINQ

“The immigration officer was relieved from his post from the frontline, and he was transferred to a back-end office already after the incident,” Sandoval told INQUIRER.net over the phone.

She further noted that it was no less than BI commissioner Norman Tansingco who directly called the officer to explain his side of the story. She noted that there could have been a lapse on the part of the officer in explaining to the traveler what was happening and why the questions were being asked during the interview.

BPinlacINQ Wait, so what are you going to do about your standards? Sending someone to the back office is a band aid solution. Address it with re-training and re-assessment of EVERYONE.

BPinlacINQ Assigning her to a back office is not good enough, she should be assigned OUT OF HER OFFICE!

BPinlacINQ One of the proofs why the 1987 Constitution is a failure. It lacks efficiency, checks and balances. Reassigned? What a joke! Asawa ko ay isang foreigner, at ramdam ko ang kapalpakan sa BI. Kaway-kaway din BI na taga Intramuros. Shift to Parliamentary system now!

BPinlacINQ Shudda been fired.

BPinlacINQ Moving them to the back office doesn’t give them a lesson. You just let him take cover for a while to save his face. Suspend and make him pay for financial and emotional damages. I’m sure he just wanted to get paid that’s why he did that, the traveler just didn’t get the point.

BPinlacINQ Just like the others in numerous instances in government public service who commit grievous mistakes but not fired but simply reassigned. Only in the Philippines 😡

BPinlacINQ May admin case dapat to..

BPinlacINQ Ngek. Dapat tinanggal na yan sa puwesto. Kung reassignment lang edi andiyan pa rin yung bulok!!! Kaya Hindi umuunlad ang Sistema kasi Hindi tinatanggal ang bulok!!!

BPinlacINQ Yun lang yun?! immigrationPH

BPinlacINQ immigrationPH Assigning that Officer to the back office will not DETER future power-tripping employees. What is your hiring process? There are so many govt employees in sensitive position that are or were referred by someone 'with influence'. Sindikato tlga. Palakasan pa 😠😡🤬.

BPinlacINQ Not enough, fire the employee due to abuse of authority. Our taxes pay for your salaries. Remember that.

BPinlacINQ 😡😡😡

BPinlacINQ TF only in the philippines! Magaling kung babayaran ng airport ung ticket e pag na delay yung flight F!

BPinlacINQ Inutile. That is all the BI can do? After damage gas been done.

BPinlacINQ Band aid solution yo! Should’ve been fired and not even get retirement money! How can you prevent this from happening again when you guys are tolerating it? Inutil nga talaga kayo sa gobyerno!

BPinlacINQ resign ka na lng kapwa mo pilipino pinapahirapan mo 👊🏼👊🏼

BPinlacINQ Power trip to the back office 😂

BPinlacINQ Naghintay ng aboloy...

BPinlacINQ Ako na offload then dati.

BPinlacINQ That immigration officer who have caused the Filipina to miss her flight deserves dismissal from service.

BPinlacINQ HAHAHAHA PUTANGINA BUTI NGA. WELL DAPAT NGA TANGGALIN MISMO SA TRABAHO, NASOBRAHAN SA YABANG AT NAGING POWER TRIPPER. TANGINA NIYA PA RIN FEEING DIYOS.

BPinlacINQ Bagay na dapat nyang irevise and sevicio,

BPinlacINQ Masama lang magmura…sa totoo lang sarap sarap murahin ng mga immigration officers na ganun ganun lang mang offload…palibhasa hindi nu pinag hirapan ung mga ginagastos ng mga gusto mag travel…karmahin sana kau😡😡😡

BPinlacINQ Papagbayarin dun sa perwisyo sa tao at i transfer yan sa FBI magaling mag interrogate baka sakali mabawasan mga abusado sa gobyerno

BPinlacINQ He should be fired! Grrrrr

BPinlacINQ Should have been suspended at the very least.

BPinlacINQ Not impressed with your solution!

BPinlacINQ He or she should pay the damages made to the passenger.

BPinlacINQ Naku, they really need to check on this! We also experienced the same pinapagalitan my daughter all because di type ng Immigration officer yung naka sulat na work /occupation na IT. My daughter should have all her working documents,etc. etc. eh it was only a 4 day tourist trip.

BPinlacINQ It happened to me too.. i missed my flight .. just when mg passport is about to get chopped.airline crew informed the officer i got offloaded.. this was in Feb 2022.. have to book another flight because i didnt want my PCR certificate to expire and spend another Php4.5k

BPinlacINQ Bale may work pa din. Lipat lang back office. give it 3 months, balik uli yan sa dating role. Recycle lang yan similar sa other depts.

BPinlacINQ Kung sina Sen.Robin Padilla or Sen.Bato dela Rosa kaya ang aalis palabas ng Bansa gaano kaya 'KATAGAL' ang 'INTERVIEW NG IMMIGRATION' 🤔🤔🤔🤔

BPinlacINQ I REMEMBER 6 YEARS AGO, WAS WITH MY SISTERS VISITING SG FOR A WEEK.. 1 OFFICER TOLD US THAT WE NEED TO STAY LONGER FOR 'FURTHER INSPECTION' UNTIL MY OTHER SISTER CAME AND ASKED HIM WHY.. SAME MODUS. 🤑🙄

BPinlacINQ That officer put in the back burner to do what, I wonder.

BPinlacINQ Wow, convenient 'punishment', mga pasahod ng taumbayan pero ang sasarap ng buhay. Mga tarantado.

BPinlacINQ Not good enough. Back office for a few weeks tapos balik naman sa post.

BPinlacINQ no reimbursement + weak punishment 🤡

BPinlacINQ Putangina hindi ba dapat suspension

BPinlacINQ So slow…

BPinlacINQ yan hirap sa inyo inutil nagpapatakbo sayang bayad ng taong bayan sa inyo pwe! dapat jan nakakatikim ng demanda or welga ng taong bayan e di mga nadadala kawawa pinoy sa sarili nating bansa.

BPinlacINQ Only?

BPinlacINQ Gustong magpa impress sa ngalan ng sira ulong unity.

BPinlacINQ Immigration Officers in Manila are very rude , karamihan bastos walang galang ni katiting sa mga pasahero! Dapat dyan tanggalin lahat all the way up to the commisioner!

BPinlacINQ He should’ve been Fired and his face shown on soc media.

BPinlacINQ surprised this atrocious behavior by Phil immigration officers finally came to light. Im tempted to ask why only now, it’s been happening FOR YEARS! You’ll honestly never meet a more unprofessional,rude, egotistical,powertripping staff than d one’s sitting back home. Not all but.

BPinlacINQ Name names and BI should pay for the inconveniences caused. Tickets and other expenses should be refunded, hindi lang nung babae, pati yung ibang pasahero.

BPinlacINQ Inaka magbayad ka dapat at tanggalin yan sa trabaho!!! Dami pa nyang magiging biktima!

BPinlacINQ Ganito kahigpit sa Immigration but grabe ang cases ng Human Trafficking. Saan nagkulang? O san lumulusot?

BPinlacINQ Philippines becomes chotiya now. Really not worth it

BPinlacINQ Pag sablay ang taong-gobyerno sasabihin SINIBAK, RELIEVED, INILIPAT, GINISA. parusa ba un? Paano ung perwisyong nagawa sa 'taxpayer' na biktima ? Kundi nyo kayang tanggalin, suspendihin nyo ng walang sweldo ! PWE !

BPinlacINQ I feel that the immigration officer is at the service/pleasure of his superiors.. . public service, work ethics, work standards are lesser values

BPinlacINQ And passengers still have to be at the airport 4hrs before regardless of lengthy questioning or not?

BPinlacINQ Sana i-expose ang pangalan nung officer na yun.

BPinlacINQ sana voluntary magresign na, hindi lang niya masabi ng deretso gusto niya ng pera

BPinlacINQ Re-assigned... damn. Should have been terminated from service.

BPinlacINQ Just reassigned? Why not be fuckin terminated from the service? Ano yan tinago lang niyo? And what about payment for damages? Ty na lang?

BPinlacINQ good he should be fired

BPinlacINQ Back to where you belong. 👩‍⚖️

BPinlacINQ So it means she still has a job? It was like a slap on the wrist. Those people working in NAIA should all be removed and replaced. That immigetion officer who subjected the passenger to lengthy questioning was most likely just waiting for the magic word 'padulas' or pastillas 😤

BPinlacINQ April 16 2019. I was traveling to Seoul for my bday. Annoyed by the questions 1st time to travel? I said no..any companion? None. Return ticket, I showed. How did I afford the trip/travel package inheritance pero di say kotong kayo eh😛🤩

BPinlacINQ Immigration Frisker ka ba ung 3 weeks ago with the Kpop kilig moments ni ate gurl !? Halatang k-12 lang natapos nun. Only in the 🇵🇭 so 3rd world qualifications eh. naia immigration Officers lecheee !!😎😎🥵

BPinlacINQ Ung babalik ka or aalis ka ng NAIA pangit ang C.R so 3rd world ... you see the dutyFree parang sari2 store walang Laban sa Thailand, Singapore, Dubai, Doha airports bakit ganern pa? 😴😴

BPinlacINQ Yun pala en male immigration . Wanted to know more about the girl ang peg. Let him pay the P27k++ sa ginastos nung ofw heloooo fair di ba !? Di yan college graduate for sure . Ano ba qualifications to be an Immigration officer I need a new job former ofw 😋😍

BPinlacINQ Slap on the wrist for that?

BPinlacINQ The BIR should shoulder the rebooking expenses of those legit travelers who've got left by their flights because of a lengthy immigration screening

BPinlacINQ Reassigned lang? Pqgbayarin ng e grang pamasahe nung ale!

BPinlacINQ Serves him right!!! Dapat ibalik nya dun sa traveller yung perang pinang bili ulit ng ticket.

BPinlacINQ Dapat charge sa kaniya ang ngasto ng kababayan natin hayup mga iyan

BPinlacINQ ndi b ni rerecord ang interview ni IO sa passenger? for quality assurance?

BPinlacINQ The ignoramus got off easy...tsk tsk

BPinlacINQ so thats it? just reassigned?pay the girl her rebooked flight that's the most you could do.

BPinlacINQ Reassigned lang? Sure b n isa lng biktima ng kumag n yan? Imposible!

BPinlacINQ Sabi sa balita sibak? Pag sibak dapat wala na sa pwesto.

BPinlacINQ Bayaran ng BI ang rebooking fee 27k

BPinlacINQ An immigration officer should be trained to easily identify people at risk of trafficking. Pag may red flags na agad, dapat there’s no need to interview too long. Refer na agad sa proper authorities.

BPinlacINQ Ayusin nyo trabaho nyo... TAPOS ANO ? SORRY NALANG SA BABAE? NAKKAKAINIS YUNG GANYAN! KAYO MAY HAWAK NG ORAS DYOS KAYO DYOS Masyado Kase pabida ,,HABAAN NYO PA ANG ORAS SA INTERVIEW NG MAY MAPALA SA ECONOMY NG BANSA!

BPinlacINQ Dont visit Philippines lots of extortionist specialy in the airport Philippines

BPinlacINQ Bakit ba naman kasi magtatanong ng irrelevant questions? Feel ko talaga sa dami ng mga na ooffload sa pinas eh nagkukunchaba mga yan

BPinlacINQ anu pangalan, pasikatin!!

BPinlacINQ Relieved lang di tinanggal? Malakas ba ang kapit?

BPinlacINQ Hard earn money yan ng karaniwang empleyado nagbobook ahead pg may promo.. Tpos power trip ka lng ng immigration

BPinlacINQ Feeding the family from crooked money end like this

BPinlacINQ Bagbayarin nyo ng danyos perwisyo dun sa byahero.. Di sapat ung reassign lng ng walang accountability

BPinlacINQ Naghihintay lang mga yan kung makikiareglo ka sa kanila,ano di lagay,dating gawain mga hayop.

BPinlacINQ The immigration officers should be aware the flight schedule of the passengers and must be well equipped in questioning the travellers of is purpose and documentation…NotoPOWERTRIPPING💣

BPinlacINQ

BPinlacINQ Hindi ipinaliwanag kung bakit kailngan ng secondary inspection - BAKIT? Karapatan naman din siguro ng pasahero kung bakit kailngan pa syang interviewhin at BAKIT kailngan ungkatin yung relationship ng parents nya at yung YEARBOOK. Power tripping at its finest!

BPinlacINQ Sure thing to straighten them: make them pay for all incurred expenses of the 'inconvenienced' travelers

BPinlacINQ Kung nirelieved lang at hindi na-dismiss, uulit lang yan. Dapat iyan ay tinatangalan ng civil service license.

BPinlacINQ RELIEVES? THE HECK

BPinlacINQ Hire clowns, expect a circus. onlyinthephilippines

BPinlacINQ include the name sana. duda ko kotong hanap nun kaya pinatagal.

BPinlacINQ Re-assignment lang? Mas kumonti pa trabaho nya? Sarap naman ng parusa pag umaabuso ka sa posisyon. 🙄🙄🙄

BPinlacINQ Masyado power tripping mga nasa pwesto sa atin. Yung sa iba bansa, they do their job and that's it...no ego nor power attached sa position. I've traveled well and based from experience mas nakakatakot ang IO sa atin sa true lang.

BPinlacINQ ganun lang? pano yung binili uling tiket n 27k? dpat bayaran ng officer n yan pati abala nung traveler..

BPinlacINQ relieved and reassigned only? tye fellow do not deserve to be a government employee. FireTheStaff!!! And Bureau of Immigration MUST COMPENSATE the traveller

BPinlacINQ Sana eto yong immigration officer na nagtanong sa akin na me trabaho ba daw ako at pupunta akong Malaysia. Nong sinabi ko na me work ako sa Pinas at quick vacation lang na 4 days hinanapan ako ng company ID, buti na lang dinala ko yon lol

BPinlacINQ Sacked! Wag relieved. I sacked then yung head xommand responsibility. Napakababa ng tingin sa mga Pinoy na nag aabroad. Mga inggitera at inggitero mga walanghiya!

BPinlacINQ Must pay also the damages …

BPinlacINQ Sibakin sa trabho yan ang dapat

BPinlacINQ So he was rewarded with an easier job with the same pay. The cycle continues.

BPinlacINQ As an ofw, 15 years, matagal ko ng naririnig yang paghahanap ng kung anu ano (like yearbook and grad pic), pero kesyo di daw sabi ng BI, so gumagawa mga tauhan nila ng sariling policy ng di nila alam

BPinlacINQ MacarioBonifac3 PARANG DROGA LNG AH,.. RECYCLE NANG RECYCLE ... NANDUN PA RIN YUN BULOK ..

BPinlacINQ They say the question will stop once you give them money. Yun Lang pala hinihintay.

BPinlacINQ wow ha B.I. na B.I. galawan nyo🤣🤣 mag sara na lang kayo kung gayan lang parusa nyo sa mga walang kwentang tauhan nyo😅🤣 sayang ung tax ng mga pinoy na pinapasahod sa inyo tapos babalahurain nyo lang...

BPinlacINQ Why can’t he be terminated from service? Kulang ba ang BI officer corps?

BPinlacINQ dapat kasuhan yan ng admin case, the evidence is there that his action of fulfillment of duty cause harm to the person and to the country as a whole as a front liner in our borders para matanggal sa trabaho, kapag nagtagal at nalimutan na ibabalik lang yan

BPinlacINQ Worst aiport, worst IO, ano ba nangyayari sa PH? Bakit minsan bobo yung IO wala ba yan training? Showed my SG Pass & clueless IO doesn’t even check the validity of my card thru SGWorkpass App kasi di nya alam. The fact I have an SG Pass dami pa din kuda.

BPinlacINQ The interview is part of a process to prevent traficking but end violating a person’s right to travel. The passenger shud be compensated by damage done. Either charged to BI or to the officer. BI shud review its Hiring process.

BPinlacINQ Nilipat lang ng puwesto...dapat yang tinatanggal na sa trabaho..

BPinlacINQ Only in the Philippines ganyan sa iba di naman

BPinlacINQ we don’t even know if they are telling the truth. for all we know that person is still harassing another passenger at the moment 😅 I think public apology will do justice para aware lahat ng future travelers kung sino sya.

BPinlacINQ Is that even a punishment? Anong klaseng ehemplo ang pinapakita nyo? Bulok talaga sistema nyo.

BPinlacINQ Perhaps his reassignment to a new post will be a great lesson for him to always take his job seriously by being simply respectful to others at all times.

BPinlacINQ Re-assigned? Incompetent nga di ba? Hindi alam trabaho nya. So ano gagawin nya sa back office? Dapay pinabayaran sa kanya yung 27K na tiket! Minsan yan ang problema sa 'PALAKASAN' or PADRINO system sa Pinas. Basta may kakilala sa itaas kahit hindi qualified pasok ka na.

BPinlacINQ Golden Era kc haha

BPinlacINQ My wife just done CFO so we can go Thailand and we've been told we still might get interviewed at airport and refused travel. It's disgusting. We have three kids going with us

BPinlacINQ Dapat nayaran din yung 27k na ticket na binili nya

BPinlacINQ Dapat sinibak

BPinlacINQ ACCOUNTABILITY LET THAT Immigration officer PAY for the 27K ticket. Nasanay na lang kayo sa ganyan.

BPinlacINQ He should undergo thorough training, isama na ang sensitivity training. While in training, wala dapat siyang sweldo. And then after training, go under evaluation kung pwede siya bumalik sa trabaho niya. Walang consequence on his end? nilipat lang ng department?

BPinlacINQ Should be suspension.

BPinlacINQ Why re-assigned. Fire him. My gad!!😡😡😡

BPinlacINQ di lahat kayang magrebook at may pangrebook ☹️

BPinlacINQ Gumastos ng extra 27k yung pasahero tapos ganyan lang parusa niyo? Power tripping mga hinayupak kayo.

BPinlacINQ That should not the end of it. That Filipina traveler should file a criminal case against the BI officer with the Ombudsman. Otherwise, other BI officers will never learn.

BPinlacINQ You’re so gullible. Katulad din yan ng mga lespu na sangkot sa krimen pahinga muna then when all is nice & quite na ibabalik sa position ulit. Devah kalbo?

BPinlacINQ No reimbursement?

BPinlacINQ immigrationPH but a lof of your officers are like that. Overzealous borderline power tripping. Perhaps you need to reassess how you do your job?

BPinlacINQ Who is this employee?

BPinlacINQ dahil napatunayan naman na nakaabala sya sa iba, dapat siguro ibalik nya sa pamilya nung tao yung nasayang/nawalang pera. ganto na ba kabobo hiring sa government mga eligible naman kung tawagin.

BPinlacINQ Sana tinanggalan na lang ng trabaho magkakalat lang yan sa back office hahaha

BPinlacINQ Ré-assigned? That's unethical behavior. He should be fired.

BPinlacINQ haha.anu yan.sus, maya2 balik nyo na naman yan.duh.parusa ba tawag dyan?kulang pa yan

BPinlacINQ Remove that power tripping officer!

BPinlacINQ Bayaran nyo ung ticket grab atbp 🤣🤣🤣

BPinlacINQ 'She noted that there could have been a lapse on the part of the officer in explaining to the traveler what was happening and why the questions were being asked during the interview' I have yet to hear any explanation why the questions are asked. Meron bang naka-experience nito?

BPinlacINQ Pagbayarin ng danyos!

BPinlacINQ Wait, so what are you going to do about your standards? Sending someone to the back office is a band aid solution. Address it with re-training and re-assessment of EVERYONE.

BPinlacINQ Corrupt. Pot luck.

BPinlacINQ Yun na yun?

BPinlacINQ Dapat pinagbayad nyo!!! Daming EPAL dyan sa Immigration

BPinlacINQ Hmf! Let’s hope that person won’t be shitty on their new task. Magpakatino na yan. Maging thankful na may work pa sya!

BPinlacINQ His superior should also be held accountable for poor leadership.

BPinlacINQ Huhhhh thats it?

BPinlacINQ Dapat fired na yan!

BPinlacINQ DESERVE😂

BPinlacINQ BI - Bureau of Immigration ❌ BI - Bureau of Idiots ✅

BPinlacINQ Ako magdadala ako ng yearbook to comply...pero not as a requirement but to smash it to an immigration officer's face if this happens to me.

BPinlacINQ So still in the airport? Shouldn't the person be reassigned if ever, outside the airport? Such attitude could be contagious.

BPinlacINQ Feeling untouchable mga yan!

BPinlacINQ Ni walang retraining?

BPinlacINQ Yun lang?

BPinlacINQ yun lang?

BPinlacINQ Si junior hingan ninyo ng yearbook kapag aalis uli ng pinas, mga putangina kayo

BPinlacINQ nilagay lang sa back office? hindi ba mas gumanda pa trabaho niya?

BPinlacINQ Sarap sabunutan ang hitad

BPinlacINQ Thats not enough!! Makenthat person pay for the fare for the flight missed by the passenger.....hindi kasi ok yung ginawa nya kahit ano o ang excuse ng mga tao around him....

BPinlacINQ xempre bobo din yun nasa palasyo kaya ganyan tayu ngaun.
