To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin report. Some parts in boldface…

A stolen cellphone led police to three men allegedly involved in a gasoline station robbery in Bacoor City, Cavite, after investigators traced the device to a lodging house in Parañaque City on Sunday, Nov. 8.

The suspects, identified only by their aliases “Kyler,” 38; “KJ,” 28; and “Gio,” 35, were arrested at around 1 p.m. on Ninoy Aquino Avenue in Barangay San Dionisio.

Police said the three allegedly robbed a gasoline station in Barangay Zapote 3, Bacoor, at around 11 a.m., taking cash and two cellphones from a station crew member and a cashier.

Investigators later tracked one of the stolen cellphones through its GPS location, leading them to the establishment where the suspects were reportedly staying.

A joint team from the Bacoor and Parañaque police stations proceeded to the establishment, where a security guard identified the suspects and the motorcycle from CCTV footage and confirmed that the three men were staying in Room 203, leading to their arrest.

Police recovered four sachets of suspected shabu weighing about 13 grams and worth an estimated P88,400, along with three firearm replicas.

Police also recovered an iPhone reportedly belonging to one of the robbery victims, three Android cellphones, P10,235 in cash, the motorcycle allegedly used in the robbery, and other personal belongings.

Chinese National Arrested Over Fake Filipino Identity and Link to 2022 Parañaque City Double Murder

November 14, 2026November 11, 2026carlocarrasco

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?

November 9, 2026November 4, 2026carlocarrasco

Recently in the city of Parañaque, local police officers apprehended a man in connection with a stabbing incident that resulted in the death of a housekeeping staff member, according to a news report by The Daily Tribune.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from The Daily Tribune news report. Some parts in boldface…

Swift police action led to the arrest of a 41-year-old man in connection with a fatal stabbing incident in Barangay San Isidro, Parañaque City.

The suspect, identified as alias John, was arrested at around 12:30 p.m. Monday, 2 November, in Barangay San Isidro, following a hot pursuit operation conducted by personnel of the San Dionisio Police Sub-Station, with the assistance of three barangay tanods (village watchmen).

The incident occurred at around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, 1 November, resulting in the death of a 30-year-old housekeeping staff member.

Immediately after the incident, police personnel launched an investigation and follow-up operations to establish the circumstances surrounding the killing and identify the person responsible.

During the investigation, witnesses positively identified the suspect as the alleged perpetrator. Their accounts were further supported by CCTV footage obtained from a nearby establishment.

Initial findings indicated that the victim was allegedly attacked suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving him with no reasonable opportunity to defend himself.

In light of these circumstances, the qualifying circumstance of treachery is being considered in the investigation, which may warrant the filing of a case for murder, subject to the evaluation and determination of the appropriate authorities.

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 violent people lurking within the city? Do you think violent crime will somehow increase locally before the year ends?

Overstaying Chinese National Arrested in Parañaque City over Involvement in Telecommunications Fraud

November 7, 2026November 2, 2026carlocarrasco

Recently in the city of Parañaque, elements of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested a Chinese national who has been wanted for his alleged involvement in a telecommunications fraud syndicate and the Chinese Embassy sought his deportation, according to a news report of GMA News. The suspect has been overstaying in the Philippines since 2018 and had entered the country as a foreign tourist.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the GMA News report. Some parts in boldface…

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has arrested a Chinese national wanted for his alleged involvement in a telecommunications fraud syndicate in Parañaque City.

In a press release issued on Monday, the BI identified the fugitive as 39-year-old Chen Yongzhou, who was arrested on October 14, 2026.

His arrest was initiated at the request of the Chinese Embassy in Manila, which sought his deportation.

According to the Embassy, Chen is subject to an active warrant for criminal detention issued by the Xinzhan Branch of the Public Security Bureau in Hefei, China.

Chinese authorities allege that Chen was involved in an overseas telecommunications fraud syndicate that operated from 2023 to 2024. The syndicate reportedly used voice phishing tactics to target victims in China, deceiving them into parting with their money through fraudulent investment schemes.

“They allegedly used a website called ‘WeChat’ to make random voice calls and build relationships with victims under the guise of romance,” BI Fugitive Search Unit Chief Rendel Ryan Sy said.

“They then persuaded victims to send gold to designated recharge points and invest in a fraudulent platform purportedly linked to the Shanghai Gold Exchange,” he added.

Sy noted that the group’s fraudulent operations allegedly defrauded victims of over 4.73 million renminbi, or roughly USD 706,000.

BI travel records show that Chen last entered the Philippines as a tourist in June 2018 and was already overstaying at the time of his apprehension.

The BI reported that the suspect remains detained at the Parañaque City Jail due to a pending murder charge before a local Regional Trial Court, a legal proceeding that will run independently of his deportation process.

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 illegal aliens or foreign criminals living in your local community? What do you think makes Parañaque so attractive to illegal immigrants/aliens and fugitives? What do you think about the groups of Chinese nationals living in your city?

October 22, 2026October 16, 2026carlocarrasco

Recently in Thailand, a woman from Portugal was arrested after she overstayed in the country by more than one thousand and eight hundred days, according to a news article by VnExpress. The Portuguese’s permission to stay in the country expired on January 11, 2021.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article of VnExpress. Some parts in boldface…

A Portuguese woman was arrested in Phuket, Thailand, after police discovered she had overstayed her visa by 1,807 days.

The arrest took place on Oct. 13 when immigration officers inspected a restaurant in Koh Kaew, Muang Phuket, as part of a campaign targeting foreign nationals accused of immigration offenses, according to Khaosod English.

When asked for identification, she could not produce her passport, showing officers only a photograph of it on her phone.

Officers then used Thailand’s immigration biometric system to confirm her details, revealing that she had entered Thailand through Suvarnabhumi Airport on March 20, 2020, under a 30-day visa-exemption scheme and later received an extension.

Her permission to stay had expired on Jan 11, 2021. The suspect has been charged with remaining in the country illegally.

Under Thai laws, she faces up to two years in prison, a fine of up to 20,000 baht (US$596), or both for remaining in the country without permission.

According to The Phuket News, an immigration spokesperson said authorities are stepping up checks to find and arrest foreigners staying illegally in the country.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think there are still a lot of foreigners who overstayed in Thailand? What do you think is the main reason why foreigners overstayed there?

Illegal Alien from the Philippines Arrested by ICE for Secretly Filming Undressed People

October 19, 2026October 18, 2026carlocarrasco

In a press release by Homeland Security, it was announced that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more of the worst-of-the-worst illegal aliens whose acts were very despicable and disturbing. What caught my attention is the arrest of a Filipino illegal alien over the crime of videotaping undressed persons without consent and already he is in the news.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the news report of the Manila Standard. Some parts in boldface…

A 21-year-old Filipino national illegally residing in the United States was arrested by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after being convicted of two counts of videotaping undressed persons without consent.

In a press release, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Joshua Gabriel Car Hombrebueno was taken into the custody of ICE, following his detention at the William G. Truesdale Alexandria Adult Detention Center in Alexandria, Virginia.

ICE listed Hombrebueno as part of its “Worst of the Worst” list on October 13, alongside four other convicted individuals from El Salvador, Mexico, and Guatemala.

“Yesterday, the brave men and women of ICE arrested pedophiles, sexual predators, domestic assailants, and other public safety threats from our communities,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.

The department cited Hombrebueno as an “illegal” individual in the US.

A report from the official City of Alexandria, Virginia website states that the 21-year-old’s case goes back to Sept. 20, 2025, when a mother and her three-year-old daughter reported a phone’s camera recording inside the employee bathroom restroom.

“Upon investigation, Alexandria Police Department (APD) detectives recovered a recording depicting multiple victims, including both adults and children, who were unknowingly recorded while using the restroom,” the statement read.

According to the APD, a search of the device pursuant to a search warrant revealed several other victims, including children and adults.

After being identified, the victims expressed their willingness to file charges against Hombrebueno, who was then 20 years old and working at a French bakery.

Following a sex offense investigation involving hidden-camera recordings inside the restaurant’s employee restroom, the APD filed three felony counts and nine misdemeanor counts of unlawful creation of an image of another person.

“Hombrebueno, through legal counsel, turned himself in to Detective Quint earlier today, and the arrest warrant was served without incident,” the statement read.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you support ICE’s efforts on finding and arresting the worst-of-the-worst among the many illegal aliens/immigrants in the United States? Are there many illegal aliens/immigrants living in your local community right now? Do you think Hombrebueno is destined to be deported?

Wanted Chinese National Arrested in Parañaque City Over Human Trafficking Activities Connected with POGO Operations

October 16, 2026October 11, 2026carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Parañaque, local law enforcers arrested a Chinese national who is wanted for human trafficking activities connected with illegal Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) operations, according to a news report by The Daily Tribune.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from The Daily Tribune news report. Some parts in boldface…

Chinese national Huang Mingmin, who is wanted for alleged human trafficking activities linked to illegal Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) operations in Central Luzon, was arrested by authorities on 9 October 2026.

The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) said the operation was conducted with the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group–National Capital Region Regional Field Unit (CIDG-NCR-RFU) at the K1 Center Building in Barangay Tambo, Parañaque City.

The PAOCC said sustained surveillance and intelligence-gathering efforts led authorities to the location where Huang was reportedly hiding.

Huang allegedly used multiple aliases, including “Yang Bin,” “Sy Wang” and “A Bao,” to conceal his identity and evade authorities.

According to the PAOCC, Huang had also established a presence in the local business sector, acquiring real properties and fishing vessels on Jomalig Island and maintaining business interests in several establishments in Quezon province, including Mother’s Wonderland and Sea Horizon Resort, where he was reportedly identified as an owner or stockholder.

Further investigation allegedly linked Huang to Chinese nationals who facilitated and supported illegal POGO operations in Bamban, Tarlac, and Porac, Pampanga. Authorities said his alleged connections to individuals involved in the operations warranted further investigation into his role.

Court records also identify “Yang Bin,” one of Huang’s reported aliases, among the persons in control of premises covered by Search Warrant No. 41M-M-2024, issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 81 in Malolos City, Bulacan, in connection with an alleged violation of Article 267 of the Revised Penal Code, or serious illegal detention.

The alias was also listed in Search Warrant No. 42-M-2024 in connection with an alleged violation of Republic Act No. 9208, as amended by Republic Act No. 10364, or the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2012.

Meanwhile, the alias “A Bao” was listed among the accused with arrest warrants in cases arising from joint anti-POGO operations against Lucky South Pampanga 99 and Whirlwind in Porac, Pampanga.

The case involves qualified trafficking in persons under Criminal Case No. R-PSG-25-01737-CR, pending before the Regional Trial Court Branch 157 in Pasig City.

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 convinced that Chinese nationals who committed crime and maintained activities with POGOs are currently present in the city? Are there many Chinese nationals living within your local community now? Do you think POGOs are causing scamming and human trafficking in Parañaque?
