In a follow-up letter-complaint she had sent to Immigration Commissioner Marcelino Libanan, OFW Fatima Alviar, 48, of Villa Caceres, this city, said that her estranged fiancé Edzart Pieter Jan Zwaal, a Hollander, has become an "undesirable alien" not only because his tourist visa had expired but also because he had been degrading Filipinos, including top government officials.

Alviar asked Commissioner Libanan to order the immediate arrest and deportation of Zwaal, alleging he violated the Philippines immigration law, threatened to kill her, and accused "Filipinos of being corrupt."

"My life with Zwaal was unbearable, miserable, and full of anguish, grief and frustration. He beat me on several occasions, verbally abused me, and attempted to kill me," Alviar said.

She said that Zwaal hires armed men led by a former policeman of Sta. Rosa, whom he allegedly used to threaten her.

Zwaal, 68, a retired government employee of Amsterdam, is a tourist whose visa expired in June 2007. He arrived in the Philippines in 2006 together with Alviar as his fiancée with the purpose of marrying Alviar and settling in this city.

Alviar surrendered Zwaal’s passport to the BID office in Manila after Zwaal was arrested and imprisoned for two weeks in the Sta. Rosa police detention cell for beating and attempting to kill Alviar in her home on Sept. 19, 2007.

But she said Zwaal got back his passport with an expired visa from a BID employee. She said he later boasted that he could get away with the authorities because "Filipinos are corrupt."

"This is anomalous. The complaint of Mrs. Alviar should have been acted upon right away. Please tell her to file her complaint with Commissioner Marcelino Libanan. He is a good man," said former BID chief Alipio Fernandez, now Dagupan City Mayor, in a phone interview.

Alviar filed her complaint with the BID in Manila on Sept. 25, 2007 but it has remained unacted upon.

In her complaint, Alviar said she was gainfully employed in Amsterdam as an OFW, then became a permanent resident there and owned a house and lot in Zonnebloempad 14, 8255 JB Swifterband.

Later, she decided to accept the marriage proposal of Zwaal, who was then her boyfriend in Amsterdam.
