The Bureau of Immigration (BI) remains on high alert against the entry of suspected terrorists into the country, Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente assured.
“Our personnel in all international airports and seaports nationwide are always on alert to prevent these foreign terrorists from slipping into the country,” Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said in a statement.
He disclosed that the BI has “a shared database with numerous local and international intelligence agencies including the Interpol.”
“This database and other derogatory files are integrated into the electronic system, regularly updated, and are used by our immigration officers in processing and conducting arrival formalities for passengers, thus allowing us to detect such attempts,” he explained.
Aside from this, Morente said immigration officers are extra cautious in allowing the entry of foreign nationals with doubtful purpose.
“Those who fail to satisfactorily explain their purpose in coming are turned away and booked on the first available flight back to their port of origin,” he said.
