BORACAY Island: The Bureau of Immigration and
Deportation (BID) will conduct inspection of the working visa and
special working permits of all foreigners working in Boracay Island.
BID Commissioner Marcelino
Libanan also ordered immigration officers to intensify the
inspection and monitoring of foreigners in the famous island resort.
Some immigration personnel from
Manila will be coming to assist the BID-Boracay office to verify the
status of those foreigners who are working in the island, he added.
Libanan also conducted an
inspection on Friday of the immigration area in Kalibo Airport to
enhance and improve passenger service.
The BI chief said he will augment
their immigration offices in Kalibo and Boracay Island due to the
increasing passenger traffic in Kalibo and Caticlan domestic
airports and the opening of a new airport in Silay City, Negros
Occidental.
“Owing to the lack of
immigration officers numbering 300 nationwide and the province of
Aklan is expecting more flights this year, the BID is also
evaluating the impact of the downgrading aviation status,” he told
reporters at the Aklan Sampaguita Gardens Resort in New Washington,
Aklan.
