After 16 years of being incarcerated, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) finally sent home its longest staying detainee – a 47-year-old Japanese man. BI spokesperson Elaine Tan said Junichi Inoue, who has been detained since 1999, was finally deported last Wednesday. “We are glad to have finally deported him to his native country Japan, considering that the bureau is not in the business of detaining but deporting,” BI Commissioner Siegfred Mison said in a statement. Japanese deported after 16 years in BI custody - Yahoo News Philippines "not in the business of detaining" you say? Note: this guy was held for 16 years because of a BOUNCED CHECK! Absolutely ridiculous.
