The Bureau of Immigration (BI) is hiring 100 immigration officers to man the international airports and seaports nationwide.
Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said Monday it is part of the agency’s drive to strengthen border control and improve its services to the traveling public.
“We see the lack of manpower as one of the primary impediments in delivering a more efficient government service. Through this hiring, we intend to provide faster and smoother processing in our ports,” Morente said.
He also disclosed that the BI is continuously hiring to ensure that the upcoming new international airports are fully manned.
Morente said that once hired, the recruits will undergo rigorous training under the agency’s Center for Training and Research before deployment.
They will be housed at the Philippine Immigration Academy in Clark, Pampanga, where they will undergo a two-month training on immigration laws and procedures.
Four months ago, the BI deployed 67 newly hired immigration officers to the country̵
