Immigration to Deport 3 Foreigners For Overstaying in Philippines - Pacific South Morning Journal

   Three foreigners will be deported for overstaying in the country, the Bureau of Investigation (BI) said on Wednesday.

BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said the three were caught in separate operations in Pasig and Cavite.

“They will be deported for overstaying, as these foreign nationals never bothered to extend their stay when their tourist visa expired,” Morente said in a statement.

BI Acting Intelligence Chief Fortunato Manahan Jr. said two British nationals Kevin Hadfield, 68, and Kevin Stanley Eifert, 67, were nabbed on Sept. 3 in Bacoor town and Dasmariñas City in Cavite province, respectively. Both have been overstaying in the country since 2008.

Meanwhile, an American national, Todd Null, 49, was also arrested last September 3rd for overstaying in the country since 2015.

Morente reminded foreigners staying in the country to update and ensure the validity of their visas.

“Foreigners staying in the Philippines have a responsibility to ensure that their visas are valid and updated,” he said.

When it comes to immigration, the Philippines tends to be as strict as they can be compared to almost everything else. Maybe certain western countries should take notice that many countries in the world take illegal immigration seriously, not just the Philippines.

In 2017, a record number of foreigners were deported from the Philippines. More than 1,500 foreigners were deported for violating Philippine immigration laws. That number is nearly four times more than the number deported the year prior. The sharp increase is largely due to the mass deportation of Chinese nationals involved in illegal gambling. 29 Americans were included in that total.

SO, get your visa stamp, extension, annual check-in… whatever it is you need to do to bring your immigration status current, or you too will find yourself on the bus! And remember, the return ticket home is on you, and if you don’t have enough money for one, you will sit in a deportation cell for who knows how long.

New Zealand removes any reference to Jesus from parliamentary prayer - Pacific South Morning Journal

In the wake of the Christchurch mosque attack, we come to find out that New Zealand has removed references to Jesus from the parliamentary prayer, sparking outrage among the country’s Christian population. Speaker of the House, Trevor Mallard, made the decision to drop references to Jesus in order to make the prayer “more inclusive” for all parliamentarians. The Guardian reported: A reference to “almighty god” remains, but it is not a specific reference to a Christian god. The protesters want Jesus’s name reinstated, and held signs reading “Dishonourable Judas Mallard”. Around 1,000 people protested on the steps of parliament house in Wellington, arguing that New Zealand was a Christian nation and Mallard had no authority to axe Jesus’s name. “He needs a good kick in his pants, and he needs to actually be removed because this is a Christian nation”, protester Rieki Teutscher told Radio NZ. “We don’t share his atheism.” Another protester, Carmel Morgan, said Mallard should have...
