Senator Nancy Binay on Sunday questioned the Philippine Retirement Authority’s policy of issuing special resident retiree visas to Chinese nationals of “soldier’s age.”
“We expect NICA to help assess the scale of fraud perpetrated by these syndicates, and check the addresses and contact numbers provided in their ‘valid’ documents,” Binay said.PRA general manager Bob Zozobrado, for his part, said while the agency has been accepting retirees who are at least 35 years old since 1991, the age requirement has since been raised to 50 in April 2021.
“But PRA can check in its database whether these subject foreigners are indeed holders of SRRVisa once the identity and related information are gathered. PRA is ready to coordinate with the law enforcement authorities if these subject foreigners are found to be SRRV holders,” he said. Last year, the National Bureau of Investigation arrested a high-ranking PRA official for issuing unwarranted SRRV cards to foreigners.
Last week, agents of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the National Bureau of Investigation investigated reports of the presence of a large group of Chinese in a village in Paranaque City.
