BI to deploy more border officers in Mindanao

THE Bureau of Immigration (BI) will beef up its personnel in border crossing stations in the southern part of the country to provide more muscle to the already tight security laid down by government forces to prevent the entry of foreign terrorists and other illegal aliens via the southern backdoor.

Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente disclosed on Tuesday that a total of 36 immigration border crossing officers will be deployed to the BI’s six border crossing stations in Mindanao and Palawan.
