The Bureau of Immigration (BI) welcomed 30 new immigration officers who officially graduated last August 18 at the agency’s headquarters in Intramuros, Manila.
The entry of new officers is in line with the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., which has prioritized the modernization and professionalization of frontline agencies. The President has consistently underscored the need for a competent, dependable, and service-driven government workforce, a vision that the Bureau said is reflected in its latest batch of graduates.
The newly appointed officers completed a fast-track training course that spanned almost two months. The program covered theoretical lessons, practical communication exercises, and focused heavily on developing soft skills necessary in the frontline delivery of immigration services.
Also present in the ceremony were Human Resource Development Division Acting Chief Atty. Cris Villalobos, who underscored the importance of discipline and professionalism in the officers’ career journey, and Learning and Development Section Chief Kryse Mende, who oversaw the rigorous training program.
The Bureau said the additional officers will help strengthen immigration operations nationwide, particularly at the country’s international ports of entry and exit.
The graduates will be deployed in different ports of entry and exit in the country.
