BI blocks Taiwanese woman from entering PH
PHILIPPINE immigration authorities have blocked a Taiwanese woman wanted for negligence resulting in injury from entering the country.
Bureau of Immigration (BI) officers in the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 excluded on Wednesday Ko Meng Yu, 30, after being found to be in the agency’s blacklist.
The Taiwanese woman arrived from Dubai on board an Emirates flight, but was found to be ineligible for entry upon primary inspection of immigration officers.
She is reportedly wanted in Taiwan for reckless driving and negligence resulting in injury.
Ko was immediately excluded and her case was referred to Taiwanese authorities. She was immediately boarded on a flight out to Taiwan.
“We remain vigilant to ensure the safety and security of the Philippines by preventing the entry of individuals who may pose a risk to public order and security,” said BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco.
