The Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested three foreign nationals on Valentine’s Day in Barangay Milagrosa following a report from the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) linking them to illegal online gambling.

BI agents found two suspects with expired tourist visas, while the third held a working visa for a company in Makati City. The operation, conducted with the Philippine National Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, is part of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s intensified crackdown on foreign nationals involved in unlawful activities.

The suspects are currently held at PAOCC’s facility in Pasay City pending deportation proceedings.
