Multi-platinum-selling singer and actor Christian Bautista will be escorted to a plane and sent back to the Philippines on Friday night after violating the terms of his visa by giving a performance in Indonesia this week.
Immigration official Herawan Sukoaji said on Friday that Bautista was being deported for disrespecting and disobeying Indonesia’s 30-day visa regulations, which prohibit foreigners from working while in the country.
Bautista is also barred from re-entering Indonesia for six months, Herawan added.
The singer is scheduled to leave Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on an 8 p.m. Singapore Airlines flight.
“Christian’s departure to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport will be escorted by investigators from the Directorate General of Immigration,” Herawan said.
Bautista was pulled in for questioning and had his passport confiscated on Thursday after it was discovered that he had staged a performance in Lippo Karawaci, Tangerang, the previous night.
After being questioned by immigration officials, he appeared on TransTV on Thursday night.
The announcement that he would be deported came on Friday morning.
According to Herawan, Bautista has traveled to Indonesia numerous times on a work visa.
“But this time, the sponsor did not fully understand the immigration regulations, so Christian used the free visa,” Herawan said.
ABS-CBNnews.com: Christian Bautista denies being deported from Jakarta
MANILA, Philippines - Multi-platinum-selling singer and actor Christian Bautista is set to return to the country this weekend amid reports that he was deported from Jakarta, Indonesia for allegedly violating the terms of his visa.
A report from the Jakarta Globe said Bautista was being deported for violating Indonesian immigration laws for singing in a show in Lippo Karawaci, Tangerang without a proper work visa.
It quoted Indonesian immigration official Herawan Sukoaji as saying that Bautista had traveled to Indonesia numerous times on a work visa "but this time, the sponsor did not fully understand the immigration regulations, so Christian used the free visa."
Bautista's manager, however, denied that the Pinoy singer had been deported.
"Christian is not deported. Whatever the problems in the immigration was legally settled. He is on his way home from Singapore tomorrow and will be back in Jakarta for his Valentine's concert in Hotel Mulia," manager Carlo Orosa said.
He said Bautista will be flying to Singapore tonight before returning to Manila on Saturday. With a report from TV Patrol

ReplyDeleteIt's in the article, singapore airlines
Deletetaray ni ateh!!! basa basa din kasi pag may time haahaha
DeleteAng manager ang nagsabi ndi ndeport , dpqt si xtian ang sumagot -tj
ReplyDeleteGrabe ang news makinarya ng kafamily network. They will make it look like that Jakarta Post & Jakarta Globe are stupid liars. That is how they are protecting their precious talents.
ReplyDeletewahaha unreliable tlga ever ang abs news and eching affairs. .dirty! Hahahaha
ReplyDeleteyou can never rely on their news tlga. Abscbn news and eching affairs. Hahaha
ReplyDeleteAdu!!! Ekase andelo!!!
ReplyDeleteso what kung na deport or hindi sus ang kawawa pa nga diyan ay si christian. tama na nga to hehehehe
ReplyDeletei believe the jakarta news,kasi kahit naman saan dika pwede mag perform na tourist visa lang ang gamit mo.
ReplyDeleteeto tweet niya para matapos niya he even replied to an indonesian fan sows "Hi friends! No I was not deported, there was just some visa issues that needed clarification with the immigration in Indonesia everything is ok, il be back in Indonesia during valentines day :)" "The deportation issue is not true :) il be back in Indonesia on February :) : @xtianFriends #screenmunch http://twitpic.com/8c8h3l"
ReplyDeleteDito ka na lang kasi sa Philippines. Christian Bautista is Christian Bautista already! Di na yan maaagaw sayo. :)
ReplyDeleteWhether or not nadeport sya, it's not his fault though he should have made sure he got work visa.
ReplyDeleteAnd carlo orosa is a respectable man. Kung wala mang credibility ang abscbn news, i believe carlo orosa has credibility so naniniwala ako sa kanya na naayos nila ang gusot without resorting through bribery.
makasisi ka nman sa abs..kala mo laki kasalanan sau pero for sure panay noon mo sa channel 2
Deletehay nako.. ganyan naman yang station na yan. madalas nagsisinungaling para lang mapagtakpan ang kasalan ng artista nila. haha. at some point, okay na rin kesa naman sa kabilang station, masyado namang pabaya sa mga artista nila. haha
ReplyDelete-- GG
for me mas naniniwala ako sa Jakarta Globe wala akong makitang agenda kung bakit nila sisiraan si Christian, si Abs naman halatang may tinatakpan =) sabi pa nga nila "Whatever the problems in the immigration was legally settled." pero di nila sinabi kung ano yung naging problema.
ReplyDeleteNetwork is obliged 2 protect their talents whatever it takes. Best example is R.
ReplyDeletetamaa!!
DeleteMagkakaalaman na lang kung matutuloy yung show nya sa Feb... kung hindi... ALAM NA! LOL
ReplyDeletePanong pinagtakpan ng ABS si Christian? Sa pagkakaintindi ko sa nabasa ko, ni-report ng ABS ang nasa Jakarta news AT ni-report din ng ABS ang sinabi ng manager ni Christian. It was the manager who denied the deportation issue.
ReplyDeletePrecisely. Some narrow-minded people are making this a network issue.
DeleteCorrect! Some people have problem in READING COMPREHENSION!!!
DeleteThe report was seemless~ABS quoted both 2 b fair. Whats the issue? Network war again? U pea brain!!!
ReplyDeleteuy, marunong ka palang mag inglis?
DeleteTumpak!! Balance reporting!!
DeleteDon't know but its probably true.
ReplyDeleteAlso, wag sana idamay ang network, hello manager nya ngsalita. Hindi cya official statement from C2. Wag nyo igaya sa network nyo n my official statement p tlga ky R. Cno kya ang ngtatakip ng talent? Your guess is as good as mine, dba FP? :)
no nmn kinalaman ng mga networks dito? deported na nga ano pang gusto?
DeleteKakairita lng ung mga comment. Porke't sa ABS news pinalabas, sila n ngsabi. akala ko ba ang turo sa inyo, Think before you click? Please practice what you preach.
ReplyDeleteows, talaga?
DeleteI agree, not christian's fault. Ingat na lang sa susunod.
ReplyDeletedapat alam nya na bawal yung ginawa nya, palagi syang lumalabas ng bansa at alam nya ang rules
Deleteanong problema ng mga tao dito? what's wrong with ABSCBN protecting their talents.. if ur in a business would you not protect your assets? Makapagjudge mana ang mga ito...
ReplyDeletewalang personalan manang,nagkataon lang na maraming talents ang abs kaya sila palagi ang laman ng mga chika, anung ichichika tungkol sa gma e wala na nga silang talents noh,nagpuntahan na sa abs lahat anu ka ba manang.
DeleteWla bang like d2 :)
Deleteoo nga kahit ako kapuso, maawa naman tayo ke xtian, saka whats the big deal? ndi naman sya nadeport dahil tnt sya, wala naman nakakaiya d2 sa kasong ito ni xtian.
ReplyDeleteinday,magbasa ka mabuti, nag perform sya gamit ang tourist visa, ngayon, gets mo na? hala sige balik sa trabaho
Deleteand so? whats the big deal?
DeleteTourist visa gamit nya, di Work visa. Big deal yon kasi Immigration law po yan at parang TNT na din ito. gets? Madalas kasi sa atin, ganyan ginagawa sa ibang bansa. Tourist visa tapos naghahanap ng trabaho after makahanap magTNT na lol.
Deleteito na lang icocomment ko, hindi ba photoshop yan picture ni xtian sa itaas?? i know magand ana body nya, pero over yata yan picture sa ganda ng body ... pang xxxxxxx na yan xtian, may future ka sa seiko kung ayaw mo na kumanta.. love ittttttttttt- sooperbeki
ReplyDeleteang eepal ng ibang tao dito. Porke Indonesian paper lang nag-report credible na agad? Eksaherada! :p For sure konting misunderstandings lang ang nangyari. As always na-sentionalized lang sa mga report. Anyways, for Christian be careful na lang next time.
ReplyDeleteineng,nakalabas ka na ba ng bansa?alam mo ba na pag tourist visa lang ang gamit e dika pwedeng magtrabaho?dibat ang mga tnt na nagtatrabaho ng illegaln na ang gamit lang e tourist visa?bat sila nagtatago ineng? sagot...kasi itatapon sila pag nahuli silang nagtatrabaho gamit ang tourist visa, now gets?
Deletetama si Anonymous Jan 27, 2012 08:42 AM! mas epal ung mga taong alam mo n ngang deported nagbubulagbulagan pa din at pilit sinasabing hindi nadeport.. ewan ko sa inyo, kainis kyo.

ReplyDeletewith that body xtian, dapat mag gf ka naman, ng ndi msayang yang ganda ng body mo.... walang nagmamay ari.... sarapppppppppp ummmmmmmm lolzzzzz
ReplyDeleteNaku ang mga beki at girlash, kung maka-judge.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, as they say, where there's smoke, there's fire. Most likely, totoo ito.
If true, weno naman ngayon. Im sure oversight lang ito on Christian's part. Remember, nagdala naman ng karangalan si Christian sa Indonesia para sa atin.
Tama yung isang comment na ang network ay obliged na protektahan ang talents nila. Hello, Papa P.
At syempre, deny to death na rin ang manager at siya mismo.
Alangan namang mag-tweet si Christian ng Hello friends, yes it's true, i'm being deported and will be escorted to the plane chu-chu.
Gets nyo? Para namang nakapatay o nagpuslit ng droga itong si Christian. Naku, tigilan ang judgment. Ayaw ni Lord ng ganyan...
Is he gay?
Deletetomoo!
Deletewala ba syang visa, or expired na. sa jakarta indo.? nakakatamad magbasa lolzzzz zzzz
Deletendi naman ito big deal. saten filipino. asnay na tayo madeport hahahahahahaha.. pero d2 sa bansa natin, dame dameng foreigner na nag wowork na nag bibizness pa.. pero ndi nadedeport. unfair, sa olats na govt waley , na waley.
Deleteoo na, pero ang pinaguusapan lang nmn dito eh kung nadeport nga ba or hindi.. muka nmn nadeport nga so bakit pa dinedeny?? wala nga syang masamang ginawa sinungaling naman. papainterview kn din lang di magsabi n ng totoo.. ewan ko sa pamintang yan..
ReplyDeleteKung nadeport man siya it is not his fault. Medyo nakaka un-easy lang na may mga taong nagpipyesta sa misfortune ng iba.
ReplyDeletesus, ittanggi pa ba e nabalita na nga.. feeling confident nkc kaya ayan tuloy..
ReplyDelete-----Eh baka nga naayos na ang problema... Halata namang one sided lang ang report ng Jakarta Globe.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like he was deported for carrying contraband or some illegal stuff. It's for performing. It's visa problems, most likely his management's fault. No news here, happens to a lot of well-meaning people.
ReplyDeleteThe Indonesian artists must have felt threatened by his reportedly looming stardom in that country and they finally found a reason to deport him.
ReplyDeletehindi sya na deport. hindi totoo yan.
ReplyDeleteObservations from this BI:
ReplyDelete1. ABS-CBN did not cover up the alleged deportation incident of Christian Bautista. They reported what appeared on the Indonesian newspaper AND also got the side of Christian by way of his manager, Carlo Orosa.
2. Carlo Orosa is the manager of Christian. Carlos Orosa does not speak for nor represent ABS-CBN. Whatever he says to defend Christian does not construe an ABS cover up.
3. Haters of ABS and loyalists of other networks are very quick to slam ABS EVEN WITHOUT BASIS.
4. If ever ABS defends one of its talents (like Star Magic talents) or other talents contracted with them like Christian, they have every right to do so. They should not be faulted for this. And it is expected of them to defend the people working for them. Sino aasahan nilang magdedefend sa talents nila? Ang kabilang network?
5. The documents and permits required in order to perform abroad are usually taken care of by the producer or promoter of the show. Christian, having performed many times in Indonesia and other countries as well, knows this.
6. Since the performers are usually busy with other things relevant to the show like rehearsals and personal appearances to promote the show, it is the manager's job to follow up these things with the show producers and promoters. Kaya nga may manager. The manager is there not only to negotiate contracts and talent fees but also to make things easy for the talent so that the talent can just focus on his job which is to perform.
7. It is more of the manager's fault rather than Christian's that the papers were not in order.
No. 7 agreed,kasalanan ni orosa yan, manager nga sya, manage dpat nya ung papers ni xtian before the concert -tj
DeleteVery well said!!!
DeleteWell said! I hope some readers would find this comment extremely informative and useful.
DeleteBlame it on the handlers of Christian Bautista.
ReplyDeleteI tried tweeting Jakarta Globe (@thejakartaglobe) and The Jakarta Post (@jakpost)... waiting for their further clarification
ReplyDeleteSus eh ano naman Kung Madeport ka sa Indonesia? Nothing special over there DUH! Hindi naman Siguro mamamatay yang si Christian Bautista Kung na deport sya Noh! Buti kung sa US o Europe or middle east ang nag deport sa kanya mas issue Yun Kasi mas malaki ang raket dun!
ReplyDeleteNaku kung sa america ganito nangyari sa kanya. Naku po. Mas delikado. Doon walang areglo doon pag deport deport talaga. Lol. Careful na lang next time most esp. Mga singers whos having a concert abroad.
ReplyDeleteHere is the latest report from Jakarta Globe: http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/singer-bautista-deported-for-visa-breach-says-will-be-back-in-february/494207
ReplyDeleteAgreed Miss Aitch, yung iba talaga dito nagmamarunong eh! *rolleyes*
ReplyDeleteNot found na yung article sa Jakarta GLobe probably it is not true afterall.
ReplyDeletethere are several articles in Jakarta GLobe regarding Christian's deportation issue. There's even an article that he denied the issue.
ReplyDeletesus 220 man yan o hindi hindi madedeny na CHRISTIAN IS BIG STAR sa indonesia and No big deal sa issue
ReplyDeleteif deported si christian, di naman nakakahiya yun. si loydie nga na A to A sa japan
ReplyDeleteLol I don't care if he's deported or not, bahala na! FP ang hot ng picture na ginamit mo! I saw this guy in Tagaytay and oh my god, my jaw dropped. I didn't recognize him at first, I just thought it was a random gorgeous guy. But it's him! He looks a lot hotter in person than on TV!
ReplyDeletewe all know how abs protect their talents. they know how to manipulate the story. para naman bago satin lahat! sadyang may mga tao lang na nagbubulagbulagan.
