00:00 40 Chinese nationals were arrested in Paranaque because illegal immigrants work in the Philippines.
00:07 Some of them have a business in the country.
00:10 Mark Salazar witnessed this.
00:12 In this subdivision in Paranaque City, 37 Chinese nationals were arrested in an operation of the Bureau of Immigration.
00:25 According to the BI, the operation was based on the complaint of the residents.
00:29 The Immigration Bureau discovered that the people who were arrested were illegal immigrants working in the country.
00:35 Some of them are in the food retail business, some are in restaurants and groceries.
00:41 Most of them have a tourist visa.
00:44 Despite the fact that we can see one of them with a working visa, it's a violation of their visa because a foreign national issued a working visa.
00:56 It must be a company-specific visa.
00:58 You must work in the company where you were detained.
01:03 At this time, the Chinese were detained in the detention facility of the BI in Camp Bagondiwa.
01:09 While the process of their deportation was being completed.
01:12 It would depend if they have pending cases here in the Philippines and their travel documents.
01:19 But usually it takes a few weeks to a few months.
01:21 Despite that, the BI clarified that the Chinese were not being targeted on purpose because of the tensions in the West Philippine Sea.
01:28 This is not a crackdown, but this is just the Bureau of Immigration acting on actual violators of the immigration law.
01:36 For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, your witness.
01:44 Kapuso, let's be witnesses together.

01:50 And for Kapuso abroad, join us on GMA Pinoy TV and www.gmanews.tv.
