Agents of the Bureau of Immigration-Fugitive Search Unit (FSU) arrested a Chinese national linked to illegal drug activities and human trafficking of women.
According to a report from BI FSU Chief Rendel Ryan Sy, the operation, which was conducted in coordination with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and the Philippine Navy, led to the rescue of two women allegedly being held against their will by the suspect.
The Chinese man, identified as Jin Tian, 26, was arrested in his residence in General Trias, Cavite on July 15.
During the operation, authorities also encountered two additional male Chinese nationals—Sun Yong, 36 and Liu Zhiwei, 33. Sun was found by PDEA operatives to be in possession of a substance believed to be methamphetamine and associated drug paraphernalia.
All three individuals were found to be overstaying aliens and failed to present valid immigration documentation. Further verification showed that Jin has two active derogatory records stemming from an immigration case for overstaying.
Jin and Liu will be transferred to the BI Warden Facility, while Sun will remain in the custody of PDEA for prosecution of his drug-related case.
The rescued women are currently being evaluated and assisted by proper authorities.
