Three sex offenders were turned away by officers of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) in the international airports of Manila and Cebu.
Excluded last January 10 at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 was American national Rolando Camama, 73, who arrived on board a China Airlines flight from Taipei.
Also barred from entering on the same day was Kenneth Ray Miller, 56, who arrived on board a China Eastern flight from Shanghai.
Meanwhile at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA), officers stopped from entering into the country 79-year-old Kenneth Anthony Mulford, who arrived from Dubai on January 11.
The US government has tagged all three as registered sex offenders (RSOs).
A sex offender registry is a system that is being implemented in several countries that allows their governments to monitor activities of sex offenders. RSOs are persons convicted of crimes involving sexual offense, including rape, sexual assault or child molestation.
All three sex offenders were immediately sent back on board the next flight back to their country from origin and are included in the BI’s blacklist of unwanted aliens.
Hacker victimizes foreigners; has P100-M assets – police
The authorities will investigate and explain to a suspected scammer and hacker who preys on foreigners how he got assets such as lands worth up to P100 million. In 2001, the suspect was once dubbed the “No. 1 hacker” in Asia, according to police.
In a report by John Consulta on GMA News “24 Oras” this Friday, it was said that the personnel of the NCRPO Regional Special Operations Group in Las Piñas arrested the suspect, Edgardo Silvano Jr.
According to the authorities, they received information from their “asset,” so they asked for a search warrant from the court to enter the suspect’s house.
NCRPO Regional Intelligence Division Chief Police Colonel Jess Mendez said the suspect was dubbed “Asia’s No. 1 hacker” in 2001 when he preyed on an international financier, which led to his imprisonment in Hong Kong.
It is said that the authorities recovered a gun, several cellphones, tablets and laptops, routers, and desktops from the suspect’s house.
In 2016, Silvano was also arrested in the Philippines for possession of fake credit cards and card printers with a pending court case.
