The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has implemented the immigration lookout bulletin order (ILBO) issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ) against former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque, who was linked to the raided Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs) hub in Bamban, Tarlac.
Immigration said the ILBO, signed August 5 by Justice Secretary Boying Remulla, includes Porac POGO hub authorized representative Cassandra Li Ong, former Technology and Livelihood Resource Center (TLRC) deputy director general Dennis Cunanan, and eight others.
An ILBO is issued by the Justice Department instructing immigration officers to double check if there are any pending arrest warrants against the subjects, any violation or infraction, or to monitor their itineraries and whereabouts should they attempt to leave the country.
According to the said ILBO, subjects may attempt to place themselves beyond the reach of legal processes by fleeing the country, hence the BI is ordered to relay to the DOJ attempts to obtain information for the proper course of action to be undertaken by immigration officers.
Immigration said the ILBO is only a “monitoring mechanism.”
