LOOK: Here's how six officers from the Bureau of Immigration split a portion of the 'service fee' paid by Chinese nationals for VIP treatment when entering the Philippines 📷: Senator risahontiveros

"pastillas" scheme, where immigration officials accept grease money from Chinese nationals so they can enter the country with ease, is now worth ₱1 billion.Senator Risa Hontiveros on Monday exposed a scheme that she said involves Bureau of Immigration officials who allow Chinese nationals to enter the country with ease for a fee.

She showed during her committee's hearing several Viber screenshots of a group chat of immigration officers where long lists of names of foreigners are sent each day. Once the Chinese national arrives, the immigration officer on duty would leave his booth and tell the foreigner"follow me," where they will then get their passports processed for entry.

Six people share the ₱2,000, with a third going to the assigned Immigration officer. The operation is called"pastillas" because money would be hidden in rolled bond paper like the wrapping for the milk candy. But Hontiveros said this has been upgraded to pay envelopes for the release of kickbacks.

Hontiveros : ‘Disturbing’ pattern of abuse of PH visas show ‘collusion’ within BISenator Risa Hontiveros said the “disturbing” pattern of abuse of Philippine visas show possible collusion within the BI to allow Chinese nationals “easy access” into the Philippines. CMRamosINQ Weird that PDuts or Palace has yet to shed a light on this issue, in spite of their efforts that 'elimimated' the laglag-bala fiasco and revamp of BI CMRamosINQ In almost all if not all government agencies corruption exist from the lowest to the highest and from the street to office level. Only the ignorant, naive and crazy is not aware of this fact. From simple bribery to 50M cauldron, to project kickbacks from 🐖 barrel & whatmore.😲
