Movement for Restoration of Peace and Order (MRPO) chairperson Ka Kuen Chua mentioned the gives had been circulating on Chinese social media platforms.

“We noticed po, na mention po during the Senate hearing that nakikita daw po itong mga advertisements na ito sa Facebook So we’re worried po na isa na naman ito sa mga scams na dati po naming ina-advise sa public,” Sandoval mentioned.

(It was talked about through the Senate listening to that the ads had been seen on Facebook so we’re fearful that this is without doubt one of the scams we suggested the general public in opposition to.)

Further, Sandoval mentioned they didn’t observe any irregularities within the inclusion or removing of names from the blacklist.

“So far po wala naman po tayong nakikita na mga kakaibang activities doon sa lifting ng blacklist or nung mga inclusion ng blacklist and other such immigration transactions po,” she mentioned.

(So far, we did not discover any irregular actions on the lifting or inclusion of names from the blacklist and different such immigration transactions.)

According to Sandoval, there are thousands and thousands of overseas nationals included on the blacklist.

“Ito po ay different immigration violations. Kasama na rin po diyan ‘yung mga indigency, mga overstaying, and other such violations,” Sandoval mentioned.

(These are for various immigration violations together with indigency, these overstaying, and different such violations.)
