Travelers should avoid tampering with their documentation when seeking to leave the country, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) stated on Saturday.

Commissioner Norman Tansingco said recent cases involving fake documents have frustrated and worried the BI.

In a statement, he claimed that “these syndicates are issuing fake documents and cajoling our kababayan (countrymen) into approving their illegal schemes.” “Never consent to such arrangements.”

He also urged anyone seeking work abroad to deal only with authorized organizations, such as the Department of Migrant Workers.

On May 21, authorities detained a male traveler headed for Bangkok, Thailand, at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 in Pasay City.

Despite his initial claims that it would be a vacation trip, a careful review of his passport revealed a valid Malta visa that was “canceled.”

Further questioning revealed that a relative had recruited him to travel to the island nation in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea while pretending to be a tourist.

Two women were detained at Terminal 1 the next day for possessing fake Kingdom of Saudi Arabia re-entry visas.

One of the two said that she had met her recruiter on Facebook and that they had been given the fake documents right before their flight.

On May 23, two further female travelers traveling to Poland were detained at Terminal 1 with fictitious employment certificates obtained from a Facebook recruiter.

They said that each bogus document cost them PHP500.

To increase its efforts to combat human trafficking, the BI intends to collaborate with travel companies.

The elimination of human trafficking requires a team effort from all sectors. In an earlier statement, Tansingco urged cooperation and cooperation among public and private players to end human trafficking.
