The Bureau of Immigration on Sunday confirmed the deportation of 75 foreign nationals last 22 September at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1.

According to BI commissioner Norman Tansingco, a total of 75 Chinese nationals departed on Friday afternoon via a Royal Air flight RW410 bound for Nanning, Guangxi and the deportees were the first group of foreign nationals to be kicked out of the country for engaging in scams while posing as an online gaming customer care provider.

He added that the foreign nationals were part of the group arrested in an operation led by the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking and the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission against SA Rivendell Global Gaming Corporation, located in Pasay City.

They were later charged by the BI for undesirability after being tagged as part of a scam syndicate.

The National Bureau of Investigation, which made the arrests, kept custody of the foreigners throughout their deportation procedures.
