BI Conducts Mass Cancellation of Visas Cancels 528 Working Visas for Fraud

移民局大规模取消签证--以欺诈为由取消528份工作签证

MANILA, Philippines—The Bureau of Immigration (BI) conducted one of the largest mass cancellation of working visas for fraud, involving 528 foreign nationals following an intensified monitoring of aliens in the Philippines.

菲律宾马尼拉移民局（BI）以欺诈为由对528名外国人进行了大规模的工作签证注销，这是菲律宾加强对外国人的监测的又一体现。

In a statement, BI Commissioner Jaime Morente announced that after conducting a post-audit of visa applications of six target companies, it was discovered that their foreign employees submitted fake Alien Employment Permits (AEP).

移民局局长杰米·莫伦特在一份声明中宣布，在对六家公司的签证申请进行事后审计后，发现他们的外籍员工提交了伪造的外国人就业许可证（AEP）。

The AEP is a permit issued by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and is a prerequisite in applying for a work visa with the BI.

AEP是劳工与就业部（DOLE）颁发的许可证，是向移民局（BI）申请工作签证的先决条件。

“I have directed the intelligence division to conduct a case build-up against said companies after receiving information that they have petitioned foreign nationals by submitting fake documents,” said Morente.

莫伦特说：“我已经指示情报部门在收到通过提交伪造文件向外国公民请愿的信息后，对上述公司进行立案。”

According to him, BI’s Intel submitted their report and recommendation to cancel the visas after confirming that the grantees of the visas submitted fake AEPs.

据他说，在确认签证获得者提交了伪造的AEP后，移民局的情报部门提交了报告和取消签证的建议。

Morente refused to name the companies saying investigations are still underway involving their sister companies and other affiliates. He shared that the companies were from Manila, Paranaque, and Caloocan, and were involved in consultancy, residential sales, tutorial, and information technology.

莫伦特拒绝透露这些公司的名字，称调查仍在进行中，涉及他们的姊妹公司和其他附属公司。他分享说，这些公司来自马尼拉、帕拉纳克，和卡卢肯，涉及咨询、住宅销售、培训和信息技术领域。

He revealed that the Intelligence Division conducted two separate post-audit reports. The first report yielded the visa cancellation of 469 aliens in 4 companies while the second report led to the visa cancellation of 59 aliens from 2 other companies.

他透露，情报部门进行了两次独立的事后审计报告。第一份报告取消了4家公司469名外国人的签证，第二份报告取消了另外2家公司59名外国人的签证。

A total of 528 foreign nationals petitioned by these 6 companies were subjected to immediate cancellation of their visas due to misrepresentation and fraud.

这6家公司共有528名外籍人士因虚假陈述和欺诈而被立即取消签证。

Those with cancelled visa comprised of 259 Indians, 230 Chinese, 14 Koreans, 11 Japanese, 5 Taiwanese, 3 Vietnamese, and a German, Burmese, Nigerian, Nepalese, Sudanese, and a Yemeni.

被取消签证的人包括259名印度人、230名中国人、14名韩国人、11名日本人、5名台湾人、3名越南人，以及一名德国人、缅甸人、尼日利亚人、尼泊尔人、苏丹人和一名也门人。

“These are just six companies, we expect to uncover more in the next few months,” said Morente. He likewise encouraged citizens to report illegal aliens to the Bureau. “We need everybody’s help. Filipinos as well as legally staying aliens must report illegal foreigners in their area, and you can be assured that we will act on your reports,” he added.

莫伦特说：“这只是六家公司，我们预计在未来几个月内会发现更多的公司。”他同样鼓励公民向移民局举报非法外国人。“我们需要每个人的帮助。菲律宾人和合法居留的外国人必须报告他们所在地区的非法外国人，你可以放心，我们将根据你的报告采取行动，”他补充说。

Morente stated that the 528 were in “clear violation of Section 37 of the Philippine Immigration Act for obvious misrepresentation and fraud”.

莫伦特表示，528名外国人“明显违反了菲律宾移民法第37条的规定，因为明显存在虚假陈述和欺诈行为”。

The aliens’ visas were reportedly revoked immediately. Subsequently, Morente said that last Friday he has instructed the Alien Registration Division to cancel their ACR I-Cards, and the Legal Division to implement the order.

据报道，这些外国人的签证被立即吊销。随后，莫伦特说，上周五他已指示外国人登记处取消他们的ACR I卡，并要求法律部门执行该命令。

Additionally, Morente said that the Intelligence Division recommended the cancellation of the BI permits of the accredited agents who processed the applications of the 528 aliens.

此外，莫伦特说，情报部门建议取消处理528名外国人申请的授权代理人的许可证。

Morente warned erring foreigners that there will be further screenings and cleanups following their intensified drive to monitor aliens in the country. “The BI, through the Intelligence Division, is revitalizing its campaign of eradicating illegal foreign workers in the country,” said Morente. “It will be a campaign that will be felt nationwide, and you can expect more arrests and cancellations in the next few months,” he shared.

莫伦特警告犯错的外国人，加强监视在菲外国人的行动之后，将会有进一步的筛选和清理。莫伦特说：“移民局通过情报部门，正在振兴在该国根除非法外国工人的运动。”他说：“这将是一场全国性的运动，可以期待在未来几个月内有更多的逮捕和取消。”

Morente shared that there have been post-audits and visa cancellations in the past, but it is only now that they have conducted cancellations this massive.

莫伦特表示，过去曾有过事后审计和签证取消，但直到现在，他们才进行如此大规模的取消。

“I am appalled to learn of big companies that blatantly disregard our laws and submit fake documents,” said Morente. “These companies knowingly hire illegal foreign workers that take away jobs from Filipinos and law-abiding foreigners. Our Intel has been working nonstop to catch foreigners who make a mockery of our laws and procedures,” he stated.

莫伦特说：“得知大公司公然无视我们的法律，提交虚假文件，我感到震惊。”这些公司故意雇用非法的外国工人，从菲律宾人和守法的外国人那里抢走工作。他说：“我们的人员一直在不停地工作，以抓住那些嘲笑我们的法律和程序的外国人。”

He added that they will be forwarding their reports to the DOLE for possible sanctions for the companies. “We will also be revisiting our procedures to more thoroughly screen applications. This is also why we’re requesting that we gain access to DOLE’s database to be able to verify in real time the authenticity of AEPs,” he said.

他补充说，他们将把他们的报告转交给劳工与就业部（DOLE），以便对这些公司实施可能的制裁。“我们还将重新审视我们的程序，以更彻底地筛选申请。他说：“这也是为什么我们要求获得对劳工与就业部数据库的访问权，以便能够实时验证AEP的真实性。”

The 528 foreigners, said Morente, will be expelled from the country and will be blacklisted.

莫伦特说，528名外国人将被驱逐出境，并将被列入黑名单。
