Recently at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), a Chinese national was arrested upon arrival by elements of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) over the use of a fraudulent Filipino identity and connection with a double murder case that took place in Parañaque City in 2022, according to a GMA News report.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the GMA News report. Some parts in boldface…
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested a Chinese national on Sunday for allegedly acquiring and using a fraudulent Filipino identity, in a case linked by intelligence reports to the 2022 killing of two Chinese nationals in Parañaque City.
In a press release issued Monday, the BI said the suspect, identified as 36-year-old Yao Shucheng, was arrested early Sunday upon arriving at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 on a flight from Hanoi, Vietnam.
Yao reportedly used the Filipino alias “Lee, King Agbulos” and declared his birth date as March 20, 1992, instead of his actual birth date of March 20, 1990.
The BI said Yao had obtained an authentic Philippine passport using a birth certificate fraudulently acquired under his assumed Filipino identity.
“The case follows a series of similar cases involving foreign nationals suspected of using fraudulent Filipino identities that the Bureau has pursued in recent years,” the BI said.
Yao arrived in Manila at 6:40 a.m. on Nov. 8 aboard Philippine Airlines flight PR596 from Hanoi. BI records showed that he last departed the Philippines on Feb. 21, 2025, and had been out of the country for nearly 21 months.
According to intelligence reports, authorities also uncovered links between Yao and a 2022 double murder in Parañaque City in which two Chinese nationals were gunned down. The BI said the reported connection would be referred to the appropriate law enforcement authorities for further investigation.
Yao remains in BI custody pending immigration proceedings. The bureau said it would seek his deportation and permanent blacklisting, subject to any criminal charges or ongoing investigations.
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado said the bureau would continue to pursue foreign nationals exploiting fraudulent Filipino identities.
Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, are you concerned that there could be a lot more Chinese nationals living in the city’s local communities using fake Filipino identities? Do you think the Bureau of Immigration still has a lot of work to do to arrest all the foreign criminals who used fraudulent Filipino identities?
