An interesting comment from some higher ups about the status of immigration at Clark. If they can't afford to schedule workers there now how will they be able to encourage more planes to land there.
Businessman Ruperto Cruz assailed Thursday the Bureau of Immigration (BI) for the alleged “slow processing” of passengers at the Clark International Airport.
Cruz, owner of Royal Garden Golf and Country Club, complained that there were only two immigration officers checking hundreds of passengers bound for Hong Kong and Bangkok and other international destinations.
“It took me an hour crossing the Bureau of Immigration counter,” Cruz said when he had a chance encounter with Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) President Victor Jose I. Luciano before the businessman boarded the aircraft bound for Hong Kong.
Cruz said the BI should add additional personnel to prevent the delay in the processing of passengers’ clearances.
CIAC has been receiving reports about the problem.
Luciano asked immigration officers to add additional lanes to prevent long queue of passengers.
Nawawi Datu-Imam, of the BI Clark Travel Control and Enforcement Unit, admitted that they lack personnel to put up additional clearance points.
Additional personnel would require clearance from the Department of Budget and Management, he said.
“Kung kami po ang tatanungin, gusto po talaga namin magdagdag ng tao kasi nahihirapan din po kamipag marami na ang mga tao nakapila,” Datu-Imam said.
Luciano appealed to BI officials to institute measures to solve the problem.
