Improvements are being made at the detention facility of the Bureau of Immigration in Taguig City, after a surprise raid last week found unauthorized communication devices believed to have been used to coordinate robberies in Japan. | INQjacobreports /PDI
The facility, located inside Camp Bagong Diwa in Bicutan, is the only detention center for deportees in the country. It serves as a temporary holding facility for foreign nationals set for deportation.
In a surprise raid on Jan. 30, Immigration officers confiscated laptops, internet routers, cigarettes, sharp objects and more than P500,000 in cash from the detainees. Six iPhones were also confiscated from one of the four Japanese fugitives who authorities believe used the iPhones to coordinate crimes in Japan.
Immigration policy allows the use of cellphones by foreign detainees only for a certain period of time to allow them to communicate with their legal counsel or families, upon approval by the immigration chief.After the raid, Tansingco immediately ordered that foreign fugitives be held separately from other deportees as they require tighter security and regulations.
Watanabe and Saito are currently facing charges before the Pasay City Regional Trial Court Branch 109 for violation of Republic Act No. 9262, or the Violence Against Women and Children Act.These cases were filed by their respective partners but the Department of Justice believes the charges to be “fabricated” in the attempt to delay their deportation.
