THE Department of Justice has reinstated the Bureau of Immigration’s deportation order against Chinese fugitive Wang Bo.
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima reinstated the deportation order.
In her 12-page resolution, De Lima set aside the May 21, 2015 resolution of the BI’s Board of Commissioners and ruled in favor of the deportation of Wang Bo.
However, the implementation of the deportation order was held in abeyance pending investigation into the alleged bribery case and suspicious circumstances surrounding the delay in the implementation and eventual reversal of the summary deportation order.
“It should be remembered that in deportation proceedings, the foreign national bears the onus of proving that he should not be deported and his sojourn in the Philippines is legal. Here, in the light of the legal presumption of regularity of the Chinese Embassy’s performance of its official acts, the foreign national should have presented clear and convincing evidence to the effect that his entry and stay in the Philippines is licit. The dissenting Associate Commissioners, instead, would reverse the presumption, from one of regularity to one of questionable origin, and in so doing putting into issue the very government in the planet, i.e., representation of the official business of the foreign government in the host country,” De Lima said in her resolution.
The resolution pointed out a number of irregularities in the proceedings and the collateral events that led to the reversal of the summary deportation order, one of which was the effort to conjure a legal basis to prevent Wang Bo’s deportation by the latter’s lawyer who filed two apparently manufactured criminal complaints against his own client (Wang Bo).
Also noted was the phone call request of one associate commissioner to implement the exclusion to Malaysia instead of the deportation to China; the more than one month delay in the enforcement of the deportation order; the sudden change in opinion of the Board of Commissioners as to the value of the representations of the Chinese Embassy; the immediate issuance of Wang Bo’s release order on the same date as the 21 May 2015 reversal of the deportation order; and the highly inappropriate use of international political considerations as an excuse for undermining the value of Chinese Embassy representations.
Wang Bo’s case has earned media attention over the past weeks, primarily for the alleged P400-million bribe to prevent his deportation to China. The timeline of events are as follows:
Wang Bo arrived in the country on February 9, 2015 under a cancelled passport and with the information that he is a fugitive in China. He was admitted for the purpose of deporting him to China.
On March 5, 2015, a summary deportation order, signed by Commissioner Mison, and Associate Commissioners Mangotara and Repizo was issued against Wang Bo.
On April 21, Wang Bo’s lawyer filed an urgent motion for reconsideration, which was granted on May 21 on grounds of due process and rules on admissibility of foreign documents.
On May 26, the board of commissioners, upon the directive of Commissioner Mison, re-evaluated the April 21 resolution but Assoc. Comms. Mangotara and Repizo voted to sustain the same.
On May 27, Secretary De Lima directed to hold in abeyance Wang Bo’s release.
Last Tuesday, members of the BI’s Board of Commissioners were investigated by the House Committee on Good Governance and Public Accountability on the Wang Bo controversy. Mison, Mangotara, and Repizo all denied the bribery allegations.
Support for Mison
An anti-corruption group, the Anti-Trapo Movement of the Philippines (ATM), Inc. has declared their support for Bureau of Immgiration (BI) Commissioner Siegfred B. Mison, who has been implicated in the alleged payoff to stop Wang’s deportation and have him released from BI detention.
Ka Leon Estrella Peralta, Founding Chairman of ATM, said “if there is one honorable and incorruptible public servant whom our dear President PNoy has appointed for government service, Commissioner Mison befits and exemplifies this.”
A news report has said Wang provided grease money to congressmen to fund the passing of the controversial Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) draft in the Lower House.
Peralta said: “ATM likewise praises and support the impartial stance of our honorable Secretary of Justice Leila de Lima, in confronting the issue, primarily showing that the reported allegation of bribery/extortion in the deportation case, is best resolved only through an uncompromised due process and credible investigation, where any findings of malfeasance or criminal liability by those allegedly involved will hence be brought before the bar of justice.”
Wang was being sought by Interpol and the Chinese government for allegedly embezzling $100 million.
Wang has been detained at the BI jail in Taguig City since his arrest on February 10 upon his arrival at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) from Malaysia.
The Chinese Embassy sought the BI’s assistance in apprehending Wang, whose passport had already been cancelled.
Mison said that on March 5, the Board of Commissioners issued a summary deportation order against Wang but on May 21, the BI board granted Wang’s request and removed his name from the blacklist.
