00:00 The Department of Justice is aware that some Chinese nationals are using fake companies to get visas in the Philippines.
00:09 DOJ is recommending President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to transfer the process of Chinese nationals' visa to Visa Facilitation Services.
00:19 Luisa Erispe is in the center of the news.
00:24 After the issue of getting legitimate passports from some foreign nationals in the Philippines,
00:31 the Department of Foreign Affairs believes that the power of the Chinese nationals to get visas
00:42 should be given to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
00:47 It should be given to Visa Facilitation Services or VFS because the process is more strict here.
00:54 Through VFS, the documents that are being passed by foreign nationals before they get the visa will be rejected.
01:02 Our government will push the President not to let DFA handle the visas coming from China,
01:11 but to make it VFS that has the ability to check if the data submitted by the visa applicants are true or not.
01:22 But why only Chinese nationals get visas?
01:25 Remulia said that national security is one of the concerns here, especially since there is a tension in the West Philippine Sea.
01:33 Aside from this, the country is facing a lot of problems with some Chinese nationals who are involved in human trafficking,
01:42 especially those who are working in Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations or POGO.
01:47 We know that we have a stronghold in the West Philippine Sea.
01:50 It's easy for us to get in.
01:55 Sometimes, you don't know why other Chinese can get in.
02:01 It's like the information they submit to our embassy is not true.
02:08 That's the problem with our visa issuing system.
02:11 DFA cannot evaluate our China visas.
02:19 DOJ also learned that some Chinese and travel agencies are using Peking companies to get visas in the Philippines.
02:28 It's possible that they have immigration officers who are involved,
02:32 so they are being used to remove treason or to smear the country.
02:41 It's a national security issue.
02:42 When they do that, they are taking away the importance of our territorial boundaries.
02:51 During the war, this is called treason. We cannot allow this to continue inside the Bureau of Immigration.
03:03 This is treason. This is a smear of the country.
03:05 DOJ is continuing to study the recommendations they will submit to the President up to now.
03:11 At the same time, they are investigating if there are any implications of immigration in the so-called MODUS.
03:17 Aside from the issue of visa, DOJ is not letting go of the creation of an economic sabotage case that will be filed against China.
03:25 The official said that they are not yet done with the consultation.
03:29 But she said that during the holiday season, they will draft the case so it can be filed in the arbitral tribunal next year.
03:39 Louisa Erispe, for the nation.
