Overstaying alien cum ‘cat killer’ nabbed
BUREAU of Immigration (BI) intelligence officers arrested a Chinese man who previously made headlines after allegedly kicking to death a cat at the Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati.
The man, identified as Jiang, 32, was arrested in front of his residence in Bgy. Palanan last March 10 after being found to be overstaying.
BI records showed that Jiang arrived as a tourist in the country in May 2023, but has not extended his visa since September 2023.
Jiang was unable to present any documentation to the arresting agents. He was immediately taken into custody, booked, and transferred to the BI’s facility in Bicutan, Taguig while he faced his deportation case.
Jiang went viral after kicking a community cat named “Ken,” while peacefully resting on a walkway. The cat later succumbed to its injuries.
News reports said that Jiang was arrogant and refused to give his information to citizens in the area after the incident.
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado warned foreign nationals to respect Philippine laws while in the country.
