MANILA - Bureau of Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente ordered an investigation into the alleged bribery scheme involving immigration officials and Chinese workers in the Philippine Offshore Gamin

g Operations industry.The committee, led by Deputy Commissioner J. Tobias Javier, is given 15 days to investigate and submit a report.Citing an unnamed informant, Hontiveros said each Chinese national pays an additional P10,000 to travel agencies in China, to be distributed among Immigration personnel in Manila airports, tour operators and "syndicates" who facilitate the transfer to POGO sites.

“I am deeply alarmed hearing reports from the good Senator Risa Hontiveros that this escorting modus is still persistent in our airports,” Morente said.“We are not taking this lightly. We have spent the last four years implementing reforms to clean up the system. For the past year, we have denied the entry of 7,724 foreign nationals in our intensified drive against undesirable aliens. This issue is a major blow to the Bureau and to our efforts,” the immigration chief said.
