WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – A small band of non-Filipino protesters marched in Washington, D.C. to protest the U.S. state visit of Philippine President Bongbong Marcos.
Adobo Chronicles USA caught up with one of the protesters after they voluntarily dispersed.
Here’s the transcript of that interview:
SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Immigration authorities successfully blocked the entry of a terrorist into the United States today. It happened at the San Francisco International Airport.
A man with limited English skills was presenting his passport and visa when the immigration officer asked what the purpose of his visit to America was. He then requested the assistance of an interpreter.
After the interpreter briefly talked to the incoming passenger, he said the man was a terrorist. Immediately, the immigration officer cancelled the man’s visa and sent him back on the first available flight out of San Francisco.
It turns out that what the man wanted to say was that he was a tourist, not a terrorist.
Moral of the story: when dealing with immigration authorities, forget interpreters. Use sign language instead.
HERE is the encounter caught on CCTV.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Inquirer is reporting that the Bureau of Immigration is hiring more personnel to be deployed to major airports nationwide.
The move comes after reports than a Filipino passenger flying out of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) was offloaded her flight because an immigration officer subjected her to intense screening, demanding to see the passenger’s college yearbook.
The Bureau told The Adobo Chronicles that it needed more immigration officers so it could strictly implement its policy of allowing only legitimate and qualified Filipinos from leaving the country — for work or tourism.
