NewsTranscript
00:00Before the flight, a passenger complained that he was offloaded on his flight to Taiwan.
00:07The passenger requested the immigration officer to ask him how he was doing.
00:12The explanation of the Bureau of Immigration in the flight is exclusive.
00:21Brazil C is ready to travel to Taiwan for a 3-day 2-night vacation.
00:27On his March 5 flight, he made a video at IA Terminal 3 due to excitement.
00:31His wife gave him a ticket to Taiwan as a gift.
00:34But the plan to unwind became stressful after being offloaded.
00:39When I arrived at the immigration booth, there were no more questions.
00:45The immigration officer immediately followed me to their office.
00:49Then I waited for a few minutes before they called my name.
00:55So I waited for them to call me.
00:58Then I immediately went to the immigration officer.
01:01Here, he was asked again if he did something wrong.
01:04I was surprised.
01:06He asked me how many times I have traveled.
01:09I said, this is the second time.
01:11He asked me why I was going to Taiwan.
01:16I said, I will just unwind because I had a depression this past month.
01:24I have had a miscarriage before.
01:26He thought that this was related to his first offload incident in October 2024.
01:31He was going to Hong Kong with his friends when they were offloaded by Immigration.
01:37But his friends left Hong Kong in November 2024 and went straight to Jeju Island in South Korea.
01:45On their way home, they took a connecting flight via Taiwan.
01:48What he didn't like were the questions that he thought were unnecessary.
01:53For example, do you have a child?
01:56Do you have a bank statement?
01:59Do you have a husband?
02:01What is your husband's job?
02:02When I told him that my husband is in the government, he suddenly asked me,
02:07what is your husband's rank?
02:08Brazil brought a trauma to the offloading.
02:13He also said that he spent P30,000 on flight and hotel accommodations.
02:30According to the Bureau of Immigration, there is a poor travel pattern in Brazil.
02:42He also said that there is a suspicious travel pattern in the trips that were presented.
02:49The Bureau of Immigration said that it is not detailed because it is private.
02:52But it is usually seen in the itinerary of the tourist.
02:56The itinerary of an individual is part of the things that we are looking into
03:02as well as we have seen this pattern in previous cases of human trafficking.
03:09If this travel pattern keeps on repeating, for example,
03:12or it is seen in an individual now,
03:15and it is seen again and again in previous cases of human trafficking victims,
03:21it becomes a red flag for the immigration officer who is assessing the traveler in front of him.
03:29He also said that the former record of Brazil's offloading has nothing to do with it.
03:33That's why this happened again.
03:35According to other questions, Brazil thinks that it doesn't need to investigate this matter by the BI.
03:41Hearing that, the position or rank of the partner would not be part of the regular questions of an immigration officer
03:53because it does not say anything about the travel.
03:56Can you go back to the flight and hotel charges?
03:59If we can see that there are lapses in the actions of the immigration officer,
04:06it is well within the right of the subject to request what he sees as the necessary action against the officer or his case.
04:19Brazil can also complain to the Bureau of Immigration if he thinks that there is no reason for him to be offloaded.
04:26For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nico Juage, your witness.
