00:00Your Honor, I don't remember him very well.

00:05Who can forget the viral response of suspended Bantarlac Mayor Alice Goh

00:11when some senators asked her about some details of her identity?

00:15That answer is also being used by some foreigners who are being arrested by the Bureau of Immigration

00:21with a pecking birth certificate,

00:23like the two houses that were arrested by the BI in Naia Terminal 3 on July 10.

00:27One of the people we arrested in Palitaran claimed that she was homeschooled

00:32so she has no records or anything of her childhood.

00:37The other one, she forgot what happened to her childhood.

00:41Her last siblings, she's not sure what their names are.

00:45According to the BI, this is a sign that their documents were only doctored.

00:50There are also foreign nationals who have a pecking birth certificate

00:53who are used to answering, so it's harder for them to detect.

00:57They only reviewed their answers and they've been using that identity for a long time.

01:04Since 2019, the BI has arrested 14 Banyagang with pecking birth certificates

01:09and other important documents such as passports.

01:12There are a lot who just want to live here permanently

01:17but I guess they're working in shortcuts in getting their citizenship.

01:22For the Bureau of Immigration and the National Bureau of Investigation or NBI,

01:25this is a clear threat to national security.

01:28After the NBI discovered the 200 birth certificates

01:32that were initiated by the local civil registry of Santa Cruz, Davao del Sur,

01:36most of the pecking birth certificates were obtained by the Chinese.

01:40If a foreign national has a Philippine birth certificate,

01:43she's considered Filipino, so she might be lost in the BI's radar.

01:48According to the Philippine Statistics Authority,

01:50local government units are the ones who hold or have jurisdiction

01:53and are in charge of the local civil registries

01:56where they apply to obtain birth certificates.

01:59Even so, they are already helping in the investigation.

02:02In the fact-finding investigation, we went to the barangays

02:08where the birth certificates were declared.

02:14When we determined that we have the sufficient evidence

02:19to file a case,

02:22then that's the time that we will endorse it to the Office of the Solicitor General

02:26for the filing of the petition of cancellation of birth certificate.

02:30Some congressmen wanted the camera to investigate the incident.

02:34Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel said

02:37the law should be strengthened prior to the late registration.

02:40This is the first news.
