00:00An offloaded passenger from Pataywan requested an immigration officer in Naiya to ask him a question.
00:07According to the Bureau of Immigration, the passenger has a famous travel pattern.
00:12Niko Juahe has exclusive news for you.
00:18Brazil C is ready to travel to Taiwan for a 3-day, 2-night vacation.
00:23On his March 5 flight, he made a video in Naiya Terminal 3 due to excitement.
00:28His wife gave him a ticket to Taiwan as a gift.
00:31But the plan to unwind became stressful after the offload.
00:36When I arrived at the immigration booth, there were no more questions.
00:41The immigration officer immediately followed me to his office.
00:46I waited for a few minutes before they called my name.
00:52I waited for a few minutes before they called my name.
00:55I immediately followed an immigration officer.
00:58He was asked again if he did something wrong.
01:01I was surprised.
01:03I asked him how many times he has traveled.
01:06He said it's the second time.
01:08He asked me why I'm going to Taiwan.
01:13I said I will just unwind because I have a depression this past month.
01:20I have had a miscarriage before.
01:23He thought it has something to do with his first offload incident in October 2024.
01:28He was going to Hong Kong with his friends when they were offloaded by immigration.
01:34But his friends left Hong Kong in November 2024 and went straight to Jeju Island in South Korea.
01:42On their way home, they took a connecting flight via Taiwan.
01:46He didn't like the questions that he thought were unnecessary.
01:51For example, do you have a child?
01:54Did you ask for a bank statement?
01:57Do you have a husband?
01:59What is your husband's job?
02:00When I told him that my husband is in the government,
02:03he suddenly asked me what is your husband's rank.
02:06Brazil brought a trauma to the offloading.
02:10He also said that he spent P30,000 on flight and hotel accommodations.
02:16Even though I have proof that I can afford to travel,
02:22I don't have the right to multi-city travel.
02:27According to the Bureau of Immigration,
02:29there is a poor travel pattern in Brazil.
02:32There are inconsistencies in his statements and documents that he showed.
02:38He also showed suspicious travel patterns in the trips that he presented.
02:46The Bureau of Immigration said that it's not detailed because it's private.
02:49But it's common to see this in the itinerary of tourists.
02:53The itinerary of an individual is part of the things that we are looking into,
02:59as well as we saw this pattern in previous cases of human trafficking.
03:06If this travel pattern keeps on repeating,
03:09for example, we saw this in an individual,
03:12and this is what we see repeatedly in previous cases of human trafficking victims,
03:18it becomes a red flag for the immigration officer who is assessing the traveler in front of him.
03:27The former record of Brazil's offloading has nothing to do with this.
03:31That's why this happened again.
03:32According to other questions, Brazil does not think that the B.I. should investigate this.
03:38Hearing that, the position or rank of the partner would not be part of the regular questions of an immigration officer
03:50because it does not say anything about the travel.
03:53Will his charges against the flight and hotel come back?
03:56If we see that there are lapses in the actions of the immigration officer,
04:04it is well within the right of the subject to request what he sees that needs action against the officer or his case.
04:16Brazil could also complain to the Bureau of Immigration if he thinks there's no reason for him to be offloaded.
