Mail -order bride rescued
By J.Lo
"As per marriage certificate, wedding was solemnized by female preacher but in a wedding picture she presented that solemnizing officer appears to be man," Bureau of Immigration (BI) immigration protection and border enforcement section said in its report rescued suspected victim of mail-order bride syndicate, targeting Filipinas sent to China under false pretenses.
BI's officers intercepted woman at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 on March 15, just before boarding China Southern Airlines flight to Guangzhou, China.
Woman claimed to be joining her supposed spouse in China, presenting marriage certificate from purported civil wedding in Pasig City last January.
Discrepancies emerged in her documents, such as officiator's gender in the wedding photo, differing from marriage certificate.
Confronted with inconsistencies, victim confessed marriage was arranged by recruiter, who promised her half a million pesos upon arrival in China.
Recruiter is also in the business of recruiting Filipinas who are willing to become brides to Chinese nationals, according to the woman.
Victim also admitted she had never met her "husband" before his vacation to the Philippines and that they had never been into long-distance relationship
Mail -order bride scheme victimizes Filipinas often end up working as domestic helpers and be subjected to unfair labor practices by their employer-spouse, according to Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco.
He emphasized that scam has already harmed Filipinas, who were drawn into it by extravagant money promises that turn out to be unfulfilled when they travel abroad.
