The Bureau of Immigration (BI) shared the interception of a female Vietnamese national last July 31.
The Vietnamese, identified as Thi Linh Dien, 26, was intercepted after attempting to depart via a Philippine Airlines flight to Saigon at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1.
Thi’s name was found to be in the BI’s derogatory database during primary inspection. BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco ordered an investigation on how the said Vietnamese was able to enter the country illegally.
“She is considered as an illegal entrant, as her name has been in our blacklist since 2019,” said Tansingco. “However, it seems that she entered the country last July 18, 2023 without undergoing proper inspections,” he added.
Tansingco ordered the immediate arrest of Thi for violation of the Philippine Immigration Act of 1940. “She will be deported and her name will remain in the BI’s blacklist indefinitely,” said Tansingco. Thi will remain in the BI’s facility in Bicutan, Taguig pending implementation of her deportation.
Meanwhile, Tansingco also shared the interception of a Chinese and a Cambodian national wanted by the Interpol for being subject of arrest warrants.
Excluded last August 7 was Guo Hui, 29, Chinese national. Guo arrived NAIA Terminal 3 from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and was found to be in the Interpol’s blue notice for being wanted in China for allegedly illegally buying and providing credit card information.

Su was found to be the subject of an Interpol red notice for an arrest warrant issued in 2021 by the Huaiyuan county public security Bureau, Bengbu City in Anhui province, China. He is wanted for allegedly opening a casino, in violation of Chinese laws, and faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
Both aliens were denied entry and were immediately boarded on the next available flight out of the country.
Meanwhile, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) reported the interception of three victims of trafficking last August 5.
