BI to file assault charges against unruly tourist

Manila, Philippines — The Bureau of Immigration is mulling on filing direct assault charges against a lady Chinese tourist after she reportedly slapped an employee of the Bureau in an incident at the Ninoy Aquino International airport last May 5.

Maan Pedro, spokesperson of the Bureau of Immigration identified the tourist as Ms. Jiang Huixiang, 38 years old and a resident of China.

In a report submitted by Nelson Valdez, duty immigration supervisor, Ms. Huixiang arrived in the country via a Cebu Pacific flight 5J672 from Beijing China. Ms. Huixiang appeared before the immigration counter and submitted her passport.

When the Immigration Officer at the counter noticed that she has multiple extensions since 2012, she was referred for secondary inspection. After establishing that Huixiang is in violation of immigration laws by working without permit, the officer calmly and respectfully informed her that she cannot be allowed entry into the country. According to reports, Huixiang immediately shouted in front of the Filipino immigration official.

At this instance, Rashid Rangiris, an on-duty confidential agent of the Bureau, approached her and asked her to calm down, but instead of doing so, Ms. Huixiang reportedly screamed and hurled invectives against the bureau employee.

Huixiang was causing so much commotion that airline personnel and other immigration intelligence employees got near her and asked her to go back to the exclusion room. However, Huixiang adamantly refused and shouted back at the astonished immigration agents. Then, she lay down flatly to the floor, and stopped breathing. Witnesses say, Ms. Huixiang appeared as if she was trying to kill herself.

Before reaching the door of the BI exclusion room, the Chinese national again got wild and started to kick Rangiris causing some contusion to his body, prompting him to retaliate.

Rangiris appeared to use reasonable force to drive her towards the nearby rest room where she eventually calmed down.

This developed as an on-duty lady security guard Delisia Yap disclosed that Huixiang became unruly that early morning when she suddenly pushed her red hard case from the exclusion room to the airport’s transfer lobby.

Yap attested that the Chinese national suddenly became hysterical and even threw her bag at her.

Yap added that when a colleague grasped Huixiang’s hands, the latter suddenly bit the right hand of the guard.

Huixiang claimed that she has been working as a teacher on a tourist visa since 2012, thus she was considered improperly documented at the point of entry by Immigration Officers. She added that her travel document has admission and multiple extensions and she is working as mandarin language teacher.

The Bureau has committed to the Chinese Consul General Qiu Jian that the Bureau will conduct a thorough investigation of the incident in view of possible administrative charges against concerned involved.

When Huixiang was escorted to board another flight the next day, she again caused disturbance, prompting airline authorities to deny her boarding. She was then boarded the following day back to Beijing.

BI EMPLOYEE ON PREVENTIVE SUSPENSION

Pending the results of an ongoing investigation, a Bureau of Immigration employee was relieved from his post and advised not to report to work for the meantime after being involved in an incident with an excluded Chinese national at NAIA Terminal 3 last 05 May 2014.

Rashid Rangiris, a contractual employee of the Bureau assigned at the Intelligence Division, retaliated when Jiang Huixiang, an excluded Chinese national hit and kicked him after he tried to escort her back to the exclusion room in Terminal 3. Prior to this, the Chinese national also bit the right hand of another security personnel who tried to restrain her from making any more aggression.

While the foreigner was clearly directly assaulting persons in authority and has committed immigration violations, the concerned BI employee may be facing administrative charges for not following standard operating procedure and code of conduct.

She Stood Me Up!

Erstwhile colleagues of good standing – Network Executive NE and Snooty Personality SP – happened to be at the same place at the same time. There was no way to avoid each other as friends were in attendance to this big event as well. But some of their colleagues believe that NE and SP have long buried the hatchet.

However, in spite of their supposed ‘reconciliation,’ some observers quipped that it was evident that NE and SP were still not comfortable with each other. During events where their presence was needed, both would just be civil with each other. Short of saying that the level of their friendship was never the same again, and that given the chance, avoiding each other is always a possibility.

Recently, NE and SP met at an event abroad. Their colleagues, as well as their followers were all eyes as to how they would behave with each other. To be fair to SP, she looked happy to see NE and they even had photos taken together. Thereafter, SP invited NE for dinner that following night, to which the latter obliged.

SP booked at a fabulous restaurant in the chic boutique hotel. On their last phone conversation prior, NE even made a last-minute confirmation to SP that she would be present at the dinner. At the restaurant at the appointed time, SP was there, but NE was nowhere. She patiently waited for like thirty (30) minutes, still no NE showed up... not even a call. An hour past without NE, SP left the place.

The following day, NE called SP to explain. Whether her explanation -- or ‘alibi’ was valid – or acceptable to SP, people privy to both believed that NE’s not showing up was obviously done with malice - and definitely in very bad taste. On the other hand, one can’t also discount the fact that SP may have also been driven with hidden intentions when she extended the invitation – and that NE could have ‘smelled’ it from afar, you know … takes one to know one… hmmm…
