    I am sure he is walking away with full pockets. They have cleaned up a lot of the corruption but in 2009 when my Philippines work visa expired both myself and my ex-wife each had to pay PHP240,000 to be guaranteed 2 of the 50 USA allotment of Permanent Philippines Visas for January 2010 issuance. Today those visas are merely a fraction of that cost.

    Bi chief and two other officials of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) are on their way out because of controversies involving fugitive foreigners who allegedly bribed immigration officials to prevent their deportation, a highly placed source told the Inquirer.

    The source said Deputy Commissioner Gilberto Repizo was also on the way out but he did not identify the third official.

    “The decision to let go of Mison and Repizo was based on reports and several incidents of state cases,” said the source, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak about the matter.

    He, however, did not name the replacements for the three officials of the BI, which is under the Department of Justice.
