Two overstaying foreigners to be deported

July 24, 2018

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) is deporting two overstaying foreigners arrested recently in Cebu and Pampanga, according to a statement on Tuesday.

BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said the foreigners were American Roy Frederick Barker, 74, and South Korean Cho Jinrae, 41.

Morente said elements from the BI Intelligence Division arrested Barker in Cebu City last July 17 while Cho was collared in Angeles City, Pampanga last July 21.

“Both of them are overstaying and undesirable aliens. They should be deported for blatantly violating our immigration laws,” said Morente.

According to Immigration Intelligence Chief Fortunato Manahan Jr., Barker was issued a summary deportation order by the BI Board of Commissioners for overstaying and engaging in gainful activity without the proper visa.

Barker was allegedly engaged in the “ukay ukay” retail trade business which foreigners are forbidden  under the law.

Cho, on the other hand, is wanted in South Korea for fraud cases.

According to Manahan, Cho is subject of a red notice from the Interpol and has been overstaying in the country. He has a deportation complaint filed with the BI. DMS
