MANILA, Philippines — Batangas residents are being encouraged to report illegal aliens in their localities following the arrest of Chinese nationals illegally working at a quarry in Taysan town.

Bureau of Immigration (BI) Commissioner Norman Tansingco said communities must “remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities of foreign individuals that they encounter,” as this could further aid the government in locating unlawful aliens, especially in far-flung areas.

Tansingco made the remark in a statement Monday as the agency prepares to conduct a “Bagong Immigration” caravan, which provides expedited processing for various BI services and transactions, at the Pontefino Hotel and Residences, Pastor Village, Gulod Labac, Batangas City, on June 7.

Last month, BI operatives, with the help of government intelligence agencies and local police, arrested seven Chinese nationals working illegally at a quarry in Taysan, Batangas.
