Airport officials intercept ‘undesirable alien’

Bureau of Immigration (BI) officers at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) intercepted a Japanese man who found to be the subject of a deportation case for being an undesirable alien.

BI-Naia Terminal 3 head supervisor Dennis Javier identified the passenger as Makoto Shinoda, who was intercepted on April 28 while attempting to board an Etihad Airways flight to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

The immigration officer processing Shinoda’s departure flagged him after the BI’s derogatory record system indicated that he was on the bureau’s watch list and was wanted for deportation.
