00:00Malacanang fires Bureau of Immigration Commissioner Norman Tancinco Monday, September 9.
00:06Communication Secretary Cesar Chavez says President Ferdinand Marx Jr. approved Tancinco's
00:11dismissal.
00:12Justice Secretary Boeng Remulia earlier told reporters Tancinco would be removed as immigration
00:17chief, saying he asked the president to relieve Tancinco because they were having, quote,
00:21a lot of problems.
00:23Remulia says Tancinco failed to promptly disclose the timing of Gua's escape from the country.
00:29Another issue arose when immigration personnel took a selfie with Gua after her arrest.
00:33Remulia says Tancinco should be reprimanded, saying, quote, wanted people should not be
00:38celebrated.
00:39Taking selfies with them is not right.
00:41Aside from the Gua issue, Remulia says the BI chief's issuance of work visas are also
00:46very questionable.
