Bureau of Immigration (BI) operatives arrested three Korean nationals found to be working illegally in a private resort in Cavite.

BI intelligence division Chief Fortunato Manahan Jr. shared that the trio were arrested last May 22 in resort inside a subdivision in General Trias, Cavite.


The three were identified by Manahan as Oh Hyunsik, 51; Kim Haeyoung, 48; and Kim Seoyeong, 45.

They were arrested in coordination with the Philippine Navy and the Philippine National Police after the BI received information about the presence of an illegal alien in the area.

BI records confirmed that they have indeed been working without the proper permits and visas, in violation of Philippine immigration laws.


Manahan also cited close coordination with partners in law enforcement in the swift and effective apprehension of illegal aliens.

The trio will remain in the BI’s facility inside Camp Bagong Diwa in Bicutan, Taguig pending deportation proceedings.
