5 Immigration officials relieved in 'pastillas' modus probeOh ilipat na yan sa ibang posisyon. Wait and they will be promoted soon. Of course there won’t be a modus on this if there wasn’t a directive from their higher-ups, including the Commander-In-Chief. Hold them accountable as well! 5 only? No, this is not enough. Should be total shake-up in the Bureau starting from the Head down to the last clerk.
