The Philippine Bureau of Immigration has recently taken consecutive actions, arresting two South Korean nationals wanted for online gambling in the Metro Manila area, indicating that the supervision of foreign nationals is intensifying.
First arrest: South Korean online gambling leader captured
In late November, personnel from the Philippine Bureau of Immigration captured 38-year-old South Korean suspect Xu Huimei in a luxury apartment in Makati City. The suspect was wanted for operating 23 illegal gambling websites in South Korea, involving a huge amount of money. Investigations revealed that she used a fake identity to stay in Manila for a long time, illegally profiting from offering betting on sports events.
Following day capture: Another South Korean fugitive arrested
Following closely, the Bureau of Immigration captured 48-year-old South Korean suspect Park Yun-bae in Parañaque City. This individual was accused of being the mastermind behind several underground casinos in the Busan area, also wanted by South Korean police for illegal gambling for many years. Both suspects are currently detained at the Taguig Immigration Detention Center, awaiting deportation procedures.
Law enforcement trend: The Philippines strengthens the scrutiny of foreign nationals
In recent years, the Philippines has conducted systematic checks on the visa status, financial flows, and business activities of foreign nationals. This action indicates that the scope of law enforcement has expanded from specific nationalities to all foreign nationals, and the previously lenient visa environment that allowed overstays is changing. Analysts believe this change will affect the residence and business environment of foreign nationals in the Philippines.
