According to Immigration Chief Jaime Morente, six companies were placed under post-auditing of visas and found that some of their foreign workers submitted fake Alien Employment Permits (AEP). AEP is an important requirement for foreign workers.
“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.
However, Morente did not mention the name of the companies. He said the companies were from Manila, Paranaque, and Caloocan, and were involved in consultancy, residential sales, tutorial, and information technology.

“The BI, through the Intelligence Division, is revitalizing its campaign of eradicating illegal foreign workers in the country,” Morente added.
These 528 foreigners will be blacklisted and deported immediately.
