President Marcos on Thursday said there will be no stricter visa rules and regulations for Chinese nationals wanting to enter the country, only stricter scrutiny of visa requirements.
“The problem is very clear: It’s coming out in the reports that there are people abusing it, so we’ll keep an eye on it. What we’re gonna do now is to be more strict about it. Before, we didn’t really pay much attention to it, but we’ve seen a lot of problems arise because of that, like getting fake documents and doing all sorts of things,” he said.
The department clarified this has nothing to do with national security issues, adding that this would even benefit Chinese citizens who are often victims of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators . Meanwhile, Senator Francis Tolentino clarified on Thursday he was only extending an “open invitation” and not formal summons to Chinese embassy officials as the Upper House launches an investigation into the alleged wiretapping of conversations involving members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
However, Tolentino noted that failure to appear before a legislative hearing might indicate that they have secrets to keep. At the House of Representatives, Deputy Majority Leader and Tingog party-list Rep. Jude Acidre cautioned foreign diplomats against abusing Filipino hospitality, stating they could be sent back home or face the full force of the law for any violations committed in the Philippines.
