The Bureau of Immigration (BI) urged the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) authorities to investigate an airline employee accused of facilitating the departure of victims of human trafficking. Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco made the appeal after BI officers at the NAIA intercepted a woman who attempted to leave with a fake immigration departure stamp on her passport. Tansingco said the woman admitted during questioning that she was assisted by an airline employe and the latter’s former officemate in queuing at the immigration departure counter. She said she was told to fall in line after her handler handed her passport and boarding pass which had the fake BI departure stamps. The incident happened last April 5 when the passenger was supposed to fly to Kuala Lumpur en route to the United Arab Emirates where she was recruited to work as a domestic household worker. Tansingco declined to name the airline associated with the passenger’s escorts, saying the case was already referred to  NAIA’s anti-trafficking task force. The BI chief said the incident should warn airline personnel not to connive with illegal recruiters. Last year, NAIA security guards caught several passengers who attempted to leave without immigration inspection by wearing fake NAIA passes in going to the airport’s boarding gate.
