ZAMBOANGA CITY (Mindanao Examiner / 09 Apr) – Philippine authorities on Monday detained three Indian nationals for illegally staying in the southern port city of Zamboanga.
Officials said the trio would be charged for violating immigration laws after failing to show their travel documents.
One of the foreigners, Karjinder Singh, said he is still applying for an extension of his stay in the country. “I am still fixing my papers and would like stay here,” Singh said.
The Indians were engaged in selling small home appliances and money-lending business for about four years now in Zamboanga. It was unknown if they have married local women.
Immigration agents said they would bring the trio to Manila for further investigations. Aside from Indians, many Koreans, Taiwanese and Chinese traders are either staying or have put up business in Zamboanga City. (Mindanao Examiner)
