A few weeks ago, I went to the Bureau of Immigration in Cagayan de Oro City to renew my annual alien registration. I was told that there is a new procedure in place for the renewal of registration. I got a form to be filled out; it asked for several data on the members of my family.
When I got back home in the evening, to my surprise, I found on my e-mail the following message, I quote: “To All Concerned, Commissioner Siegfred Mison first release order since taking over as chief commissioner on December 21, 2013 was to release a foreigner-pedophile (sued) by the father of a 6-year-old Filipina that had been raped three times by the foreigner. A Bureau of Immigration staff official that was so disgusted by the release order has provided a copy and has asked that it be publicly revealed. Respectfully, Foreigners for Justice.”
The message provided the picture of Commissioner Siegfred Mison and a picture of the rape victim. One can check this message including the pictures on the Internet: https://shamelessimmigration.blogspot.com/2014/02/immigration-commissioner-chief-siegfred.htm/.
The one who sent this message did not reveal his name.
