NOT REQUIRED. The Bureau of Immigration has set the record straight: You won’t need a yearbook or a diploma to secure the go-ahead to travel from immigration officers. READ:
She took note of the lingering “misconception” on social media as more people have been posting about bringing their yearbooks and diplomas to the airport “in hopes that they won’t be interviewed by the immigration.”She reiterated that asking to see a traveler’s yearbook or diploma is “not a normal question” of immigration officers.
“There’s a concern on how the interview was conducted. We are not questioning having a secondary inspection because of what is happening with a lot of Filipino victims for trafficking and illegal recruitment,” Sandoval said. She then pointed out that the main issue in the incident was rooted in the way the interview was conducted.
The immigration officer must have been unable to explain to the traveler the reasons why such questions were being asked in the interview, she added. BI earlier said it had extended apologies to the Filipino traveler who complained about her immigration experience, as well as other passengers who may have likewise been subjected to such an “inconvenience.”
