ENATOR Maria Imelda Josefa Remedios “Imee” R. Marcos has urged newly-appointed Defense Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr. and National Security Adviser Eduardo M. Año to shed light on a request by the United States to grant some Afghans special immigrant status in the Philippines.
In Senate Resolution 651 filed last Thursday, she called for an inquiry into the real intention behind Washington’s request since no data have been made public on the said Afghans’ status as legitimate refugees or employees of the US government or American companies. The Presidential Management Staff held a “technical coordination meeting” with other government agencies last Wednesday to take up the “proposed temporary housing in the Philippines of Special Immigrant Visa applicants from Afghanistan.”
