Bureau of Immigration officers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 recently arrested a Chinese national who presented fake travel documents.

In a report given to BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco, BI Border Control and Intelligence Unit Head Dennis Alcedo identified the Chinese national as Zhiqun Liao, 31-year-old female, who was arrested after she attempted to depart for Guanzhou, China via Malaysian Airlines.

Alcedo said that during the primary inspection, the officers noted that her passport did not contain a Philippine arrival stamp, but a stamp was instead affixed to a certificate indicating her travel record. She could not also show her Philippine visa, which she used when she entered the country, or her visa extensions.

He added that upon verification of Zhiqun's travel records, it was confirmed that the BI's systems did not contain a record of her supposed arrival on 15 June.
