BI to file assault charges against unruly tourist
Manila, Philippines — The Bureau of Immigration is mulling on filing direct assault charges against a lady Chinese tourist after she reportedly slapped an employee of the Bureau in an incident at the Ninoy Aquino International airport last May 5.
Maan Pedro, spokesperson of the Bureau of Immigration identified the tourist as Ms. Jiang Huixiang, 38 years old and a resident of China.
In a report submitted by Nelson Valdez, duty immigration supervisor, Ms. Huixiang arrived in the country via a Cebu Pacific flight 5J672 from Beijing China. Ms. Huixiang appeared before the immigration counter and submitted her passport.
When the Immigration Officer at the counter noticed that she has multiple extensions since 2012, she was referred for secondary inspection. After establishing that Huixiang is in violation of immigration laws by working without permit, the officer calmly and respectfully informed her that she cannot be allowed entry into the country. According to reports, Huixiang immediately shouted in front of the Filipino immigration official.
At this instance, Rashid Rangiris, an on-duty confidential agent of the Bureau, approached her and asked her to calm down, but instead of doing so, Ms. Huixiang reportedly screamed and hurled invectives against the bureau employee.
Huixiang was causing so much commotion that airline personnel and other immigration intelligence employees got near her and asked her to go back to the exclusion room. However, Huixiang adamantly refused and shouted back at the astonished immigration agents. Then, she lay down flatly to the floor, and stopped breathing. Witnesses say, Ms. Huixiang appeared as if she was trying to kill herself.
Before reaching the door of the BI exclusion room, the Chinese national again got wild and started to kick Rangiris causing some contusion to his body, prompting him to retaliate.
Rangiris appeared to use reasonable force to drive her towards the nearby rest room where she eventually calmed down.
This developed as an on-duty lady security guard Delisia Yap disclosed that Huixiang became unruly that early morning when she suddenly pushed her red hard case from the exclusion room to the airport’s transfer lobby.
Yap attested that the Chinese national suddenly became hysterical and even threw her bag at her.
Yap added that when a colleague grasped Huixiang’s hands, the latter suddenly bit the right hand of the guard.
Huixiang claimed that she has been working as a teacher on a tourist visa since 2012, thus she was considered improperly documented at the point of entry by Immigration Officers. She added that her travel document has admission and multiple extensions and she is working as mandarin language teacher.
The Bureau has committed to the Chinese Consul General Qiu Jian that the Bureau will conduct a thorough investigation of the incident in view of possible administrative charges against concerned involved.
When Huixiang was escorted to board another flight the next day, she again caused disturbance, prompting airline authorities to deny her boarding. She was then boarded the following day back to Beijing.

BI EMPLOYEE ON PREVENTIVE SUSPENSION
Pending the results of an ongoing investigation, a Bureau of Immigration employee was relieved from his post and advised not to report to work for the meantime after being involved in an incident with an excluded Chinese national at NAIA Terminal 3 last 05 May 2014.
Rashid Rangiris, a contractual employee of the Bureau assigned at the Intelligence Division, retaliated when Jiang Huixiang, an excluded Chinese national hit and kicked him after he tried to escort her back to the exclusion room in Terminal 3. Prior to this, the Chinese national also bit the right hand of another security personnel who tried to restrain her from making any more aggression.
While the foreigner was clearly directly assaulting persons in authority and has committed immigration violations, the concerned BI employee may be facing administrative charges for not following standard operating procedure and code of conduct.

Kahit na ba ganun ang ginawa may ibang paraan naman para patigilin siya. Marami naman airport security and police diba? Sana tumawag nalang sila ng person in authority kesa kaladkarin at jumbagin yung babae.
ReplyDeleteAng bait mo, kaya tayo nabu-bully ng mga Chinese na yan! Tama lang sa kanya yan. Kung sa Pinoy yan nangyare sa China, hindi lang yan ang aabutin naten,
DeleteTama lang ginawa ng Immigration officers kasi obvious na may topak yung babae and pag ganun na yung situation dapat rin naman protektahan nila mga sarili nila lalo na nananakit and she's biting them pa.
DeleteNatawa ako dun sa ginawa nung babae na humiga sa sahig at pinigil huminga her way of committing suicide... LOL
Delete12:48 Hindi kabaitan yan, tinatawag yan na professionalism. Kung ganyan ang mga Chinese eh wala tayong magagawa, nature nila yan pero may diplomasya naman. If you are in a good position, why would you stoop down to the level of those who throw stones at you? Being the person in authority, the IO had all means to handle the situation in a more diplomatic way. If he called the airport police and security, the girl could've been detained at masasampahan pa ng kaso, justly, without him being dragged into the mess diba?
DeleteNakakainis yung mga nagcocomment ng babae babae. Ano ngayon kung babae? Nagwawala na nga't lahat lahat eh.
DeleteBinasa mo ba yung article Anon 12:17??? Maawa ka naman sa mga BI employees na ginagawa lang trabaho nila.
DeleteBasahin ang RA 9262 2:03 para maintindihan mo kung bakit. Nanggaling ka rin sa isang babae... pag-aralang mabuti.
DeleteDapat ba pag pangit ang asal ng isang tao maging asal hayop k na din sknya? Asan ang pag iisip m nun? D katulad k din nya na asal hayop. Dimplasya ang kelangn at d pagiging violente. Sa mga kababyan natin illegal workers sa abroad gusto nio ba jumbagin din silang ganyan pag nahuli? Dba d nmn sila jinukbang instead dinedeport lang. Kung may mga nassktan man na mga ofw un ay dhil sa amo nilng walang hiya pero d dhil sa immigration officer noh. Mahiya nmn kau s mga nagsabing tama lng inasal mg lalaking un. Dpt nga dun ikulong ng d pamarisan.
Deletedapat sana ay pinasuot ng straight jacket,he he he
DeleteCorrect!!!!
DeleteAng DIPLOMASYA ay ibinibigay lamang sa mga nararapat makatanggap nito, sa mga taong sumusunod sa batas, at sa mga taong hindi gumagawa ng mga bagay na ikakatakot o makapagdudulot ng gulo.
DeleteNgayon, kung sa simula pa lang ay may nilabag ka nang batas, malaki man ito o maliit at gumawa ng gulo, nanakit ng ibang tao, at iba pang bagay na nakapgdulot ng takot sa ibang tao sa paligid, KAMAY NA BAKAL ang dapat mongmatanggap.
Ang batas ay inilalatag upang SERYOSOHIN at RESPETUHIN, hindi para pampaguwapo lang.
Buti ka pa 3:49 naiintindihan ang ibig kong sabihin. At Anon 2:37 ako ang di naawa sa IO? Diba mas nakakaawa siya ngayon? Dahil nagpadala siya sa init ng ulo at pinatulan ang nagwawalang Chinese napakalaki ng tsansang matanggal siya sa trabaho. Ngayon, ano ang kahahantungan niya? Isip-isip din.
DeleteNakakahiya yung officer kahit na ganun dapat nagtimpi sya. Oh well we do not REALLY as in THE REAL know situation.
ReplyDeleteSana makagat ka rin ng isang walang modong tao... Tingnan ko lang kung anong gawin mo!
DeleteAnon 1:56AM - yang sinasabi mo sana mangyari sayo.
DeleteBeh buti nga
ReplyDeleteTaser gun!! She is a threat to the airport as well as to the other people inside the airport. Period.
ReplyDeleteAng tanong: may pambili ba ang gobyerno natin ng taser gun? Bka toy gun na umiilaw lang, pang pulis pangkalawakan lang ba.
DeleteHa ha ha tawa ako sa comment mo anon:12:50
Delete'yan ang epekto ng mga pinaggagagawa ng mga corrupt na nasa immigration at sa bulok nilang sistema sa pagpapapasok sa mga illegal aliens...lumalakas ang loob ng mga ito at pag nabuko nagwawala at nananakit pa! though me kasalanan din si Rangiris, i still pity him.
ReplyDeleteChinese people are agressive nood Kayo sa YouTube ung mga Chinese na nagwawala sa airport
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!!!
DeleteDapat sa kanila ginagamitan talaga ng force.
DeleteJust wow. Stereotype yan!
DeleteIt's not stereotype, it's true. I live in HK. Mismong HK Chinese people galit sa mga Chinese from Mainland China. Magcheck ka sa youtube, bastos ang mga Mainland Chinese that's why HK people don't want to be associated with them.
DeleteBasta posing as a threat, walang babae walang lalaki. Dapat may protocol sila sa mga ganitong sitwasyon. As usual, di na nmn handa ang airport staff. Kaya, emosyon ang pina iral.
ReplyDeleteI agree. As a female/woman, masyado nakakainsulto ung mga comments dito na she should have been treated differently, kasi babae. I also don't like manhandling issues, pero this one, sorry, pero she posed as a threat, so she got what she deserved. Yeah, may mali si IO, pero that action was not done out of topak, obviously he got provoked. Though that would never justify his actions, pero ang pinagsimulan nito ung maling behavior nung Chinese. They are simply just too much of a bully, and barbaric too, na akala nila ung ganyan arte2 nila sa bansa nila, eeffect sa ibang bansa. Well, sorry siya.
DeleteTama ka girl! Correct na correct.
DeleteNapakaraming instants na ng ganyan behaviour ang pinakita ng mga ibang lahi dito sa airport naten, hindi nila seseryosohin at paulit ulit na lalabagin ang batas natin kung hindi natin sila patitikimin ng seryosong pagdidisiplina at aksyon kapag nagkasala sila na siya namang malinaw na ginawa ng babaeng intsik na dayuhang yan.
Pwede ba gumamit ng taser ang security o IO satin?
ReplyDeleteWalang pambili ng taser gun kaya walang gumagamit nun dito sa Pinas.
DeleteThe woman was totally unruly, rude, hysterical and rabid. Pag pinagtulungan pa sya ng mga immigration employees eh di mas maraming madadamay at mas marami ang mawawalan ng trabaho. She deserves what she got, akala nyan porke labas masok na sya sa Pinas pwede na nyang baliin ang immigration rules. She better not return anymore!
ReplyDeletecompletely agree... may mali din ung officer pero mas mali ung chinese national.
Deleteand baka magulat kayo sa ginagawa ng chinese sa mga ofw natin sa china
True!
Deleteagree dapat talaga minsan makatikim din yang mga notorious na chinese na yan.. sobrang brat at bully bakit ba sila ganyan makitungo kaloka kapag nasa US naman sila kala mo kababait grabe
DeleteDiplomacy is suited to be given to diplomatic people only.
Deleteand iron hands should also be given to those who use them to pose threat to others as well.
that should be how the local justice should be implemented particularly to foreign nationals.
Nangangagat ng kamay?? I know that there is such a thing as human rabies. May namatay na nga sa kagat ng tao sa kapwa kamay ng tao. This lady is a security & a health threat to others!
ReplyDeleteTaser. And upgrade or increase the CCTVs, detectors, and guards. Visible security personnel will make unruly passengers think twice before challenging airport staff. This incident is truly unfortunate though more for the assaulted immigration agents. Clearly, they are unequipped on how to handle erratic behavior of other foreign nationals
ReplyDeleteYung second statement is clearly a preventive measure of possible Chinese uproar on social media. Which is just right, if all investigation is finalized and the immigration officer is cleared and had served his administrative charges, maybe he can go,back to work. But since he's on a contractual basis, his chances of being called back is clouded.
ReplyDeleteThat was awesome! Serves him right. That officer is a b**********
ReplyDeleteMali ang ginawa ng Immigration Officer dahil una babae yun at lalaki sya, no match kumbaga...sana lumayo muna yun BI at naghanap ng mga tutulong sa kanya mga 2 or 3 more personnel, isa hawakan ang buhok dahil di ba nangangagat daw tapos yun dalawa pa sa both arms sabay iposas, kasi no matter what si BI ang unang masisisi, at yun babae naman naturingang teacher pala ay ridiculously acted so immature, na-question lang sya nagwala agad agad?! Understood din naman yun BI na ginantihan nya yun babae dahil sa direct assault nga naman. Dapat both camp ay mag apologize sa isat isa, pero dapat mauna si BI at yun chinese national na yon dapat tanungin din kung bakit sya naging violent right away at the same time i-ban na rin sya sa 'Pinas, di ba.
ReplyDeletepalagay mo ba kung nangyari iyan sa china at pinoy ang nagwala...anong mangyayari?
DeleteDapat sana they gave her maximum tolerance and d hinayaang iisang tao lang ang mag escort sa kanya kung ganyan pala sya ka grabe magwala... but to be fair dn naman sa officer na iyon baka naman sobra sobra na rin ang pananakit sa kanya nung babae kaya napuno na dn sya... Syempre pagsinasaktan ka na and all mahirap na dn mag exercise ng maximum tolerance rule ..as humans, pagnasasaktan na tayo d maiiwasan na napupuno tayo and of course idedefend mo iyong sarili mo..kahit naman mga animals ganun...pag naapakan mo nga lang ang buntot ng aso or pusa
ReplyDeleteinstinct nla ang mangagat kse nsaktan cla... so its hard to judge dn kse d
naman natin nakita ang buong nangyari at d rin naman tayo ang nasa
sitwasyon nya....malamang sobra2 na talaga cguro iyong ginawa sa kanya
nung chinese kaya gumanti na dn sya.
oh well sana ma resolve nla lahat to ng maayos ^_^
Maximum tolerance? You shouldnt tolerate people who dont follow rules. Lalo na Ph laws at foreigner siya. Kaya tayo tinatapaktapakan kasi di tayo strong kahit may laws na tayong naka establish.
DeleteAt sa airport, any country pa yan, pag nag cause ka ng simpleng gulo lang. Big deal na yun!
Maximum tolerance your A**...nakapunta ka na ba s america? Kung nde pa, nuod ka s travel channel on Miami International Airport, madami kang makikita na kaganapan duon and how they respond to situations like those. Walang maximum tolerance, if you are a THREAT, you are considered a THREAT. Walang gender na kinu consider.
Deletetomoh, gayahin ang security protocol ng americans sa mga airports nila regarding case like this. ano kaya mangyayari dyan sa foreigner na yan? bka akala nya nasa china pa sya?
DeleteHindi ako racist pero nakatravel na ko sa ibat ibang countries pero ang INTSIK ang pinakabastos na tao sa buong mundo! Hahampasin ang kamay mo pag hahawakan mo ang kanilang merchandise. dinagukan ang classmate ko when she did not buy the dress na pinipilit sa kanya. ---e hindi kasya eh!
ReplyDeleteTotoo yan. Wala pa kaming 10 minutes ng friend ko tumitingin tingin sa loob ng isang store sa Chinatown NYC, sinigawan agad kami at pinalayas "you no buy. get out!!!"
DeleteThey are not accommodating too. Malaysian is far better than chinese. Very hospitable sa mga tourist regardless of race.
DeleteTrue..Chinese people are rude. I was in Chinatown onetime at Toronto, and looking at their items , then suddenly one Chinese lady said, if you don't have plans to buy my stuffs then move. I wasn't shock to be honest as I know that they are really like that. Haissst
Deletekorek kayayabang nila pramis kala mo kung sino hay naku kung puede lang wag n tayo magpunta sa hk china lagi nga pinoy ang turista nila kainis..
Deletesabihin mo sa friend mo magpapayat sya
Deletehindi rin 3:08
DeleteAbso-effing-lutely! Mabubunggo ka nila ni alang sorry ikaw pa titingnan ng masama na parang kasalanan mo bat ka nila nabangga. one of the reasons i'll never go back to HK. kanila na!
DeleteMAYAYABANG YANG MGA YAN!
ReplyDeletebakit nila binigyan ng extension yung Ale tapos pagbabawalan na pumasok? Ano yun? kasalanan ba nya na binigyan sya ng extension? Eh di antayin na lang na mag-expire ang visa and then the next time around bigyan sya ng 'no extension'.
ReplyDeleteAA May 8 Parang bago ka pa sa mga Pinoy! Seguradong tinapalan ng chinese yuan ang mata ng nabigay ng Philippine visa di nabigyan ng extension! LOL!!!!
Delete!
everytime medestino ako sa ibang bansa ng mga 3-4 yrs doon ko nakikita ang kaibahan nating mga pinoy. pakiramdam ko tayo ang pinakamabait at tunay na tao na nilikha sa gaspang ng pag-uugali ng lahat ng lahi compared sa pinoy. syempre hindi kasali ang mga kriminal sa comparison dahil ibang level sila, parang hindi sila pinoy.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I have no sympathy for the Chinese. Buti nga yan lang inabot nya eh. Sayang nga lang walang pondo ang gobyerno for a tazer. Or dapat cattle prod, yung mga ilang libong joules ang lakas para mangisay talaga
ReplyDeleteWag maging racist, fellow peeps :( what if the lady was European or African? Walang bias dapat tayo diyan. The woman was violent and disruptive and assaulted a woman staff member.that is a fact and it has nothing to do with race or nationality.
ReplyDeleteGayunman, the immigration officer looked and acted violently, and not because he was trying to restrain her, which is the main action required. Nag retaliate siya. He deserves to be investigated.
May attitude talaga mga yan,,,hay salamat at marami nag aagree dito na mali yung intsik na yan... Sorry sa mga chinese dito ahh... Remember what happened sa mh370? Some of the relatives slapped, kicked and threatnd the malaysian officers. Kasalanan ba nila? E di nga alam ng malay air what happened nun mga panahon na yun.
ReplyDeletebuti nga, anyayabang kasi ng mga yan
ReplyDeleteNaku yung iba mega comment dito na dapat magtimpi,. Kayo sa inyo ginawa ng chinese yun makakapagtimpi ba kayo,, wag nga kayo plastic
ReplyDeleteAlanganin and delikado yung naging situation nung Immigration Officer. Sana man lang kahit Pepper Spary or Mace eh meron sila. -_-
ReplyDeleteOo nagkamali si Rangiris and he is "paying" for what he did. Hindi tagarito ang babaing iyan. Wala siyang karapatang manggulo.
ReplyDeleteNot being racist here but, I work with Chinese nationals, Taiwanese, Malaysians and Burmese... Iba talaga ang mga intsik, madumi kumain pakiramdam nila kaming mga pinoy would always clean up after them, mayabang at parang hindi aral ang hirap pakisamahan unlike other Asian nationals that I'm working with. although may lapses din yung BI officer maling-mali pa rin yun ginawa ng babae. Bully! Teacher pa naman parang walang pinag-aralan!
ReplyDeletefeeling ba ni girl,nasakop na nila RP? ay RIP na tayo nyan. he he
ReplyDeleteMaximum Tolerance my foot!! Dapat yun kinaladkad at ihagis sa labas ng Airport!! Lagi na lang ba tayo lugi kahit sariling bansa na natin?? kung sa China kaya mangyari yun may Filipinong nagwala?? .. mawawalan pa ng trabaho yun kawawang BI Officer dahil sa kanya! grrrr
ReplyDeletePareho lang silang mali. :)
ReplyDeleteSanay na mga chinese tourist sa mga ginagawa sa airport. Kapag nakita na chinese passport. hihingan ng dollar or rmb...
ReplyDeletemay nakasabay kami sa plane, sabi nila ndi sila nakapasok agad dahil nung naiscan ung bag nila at nakitang may DOLLAR sa bag nung isa ay hinugot nalang bigla ang $100.
TAKE NOTE: dollar yan ! at hindi rmb! at mas lalong ndi Peso.. kaya san ka pa ? masama na talaga ang tingin nila sa mga tao sa loob ng airport (although ndi naman lahat) pero karamihan ay ganyan :P
pero bakit kung amerikano ang mkita nila, hindi sila ganyan... taas ng respeto nila
FYI lang sa mga nagaakalang "mabubuti" ang mga officers na nasa loob ng airport...
Chinese (China mainland people) can be extremely violent and rough. Lalo na yuing mga mayayaman sa China, ugali talaga nila yan. Wala silang hiya. I can see many lapses: bakit walang airport police etc. but still di naman talaga reasonable yung babae. Pag sa US yan nagyari, nakaposas na yan at nakahalik na sa sahig.
ReplyDeleteSA U.S., WALANG BABAE-BABAE!...IF U R IN VIOLATION & WITH UNBECOMING CONDUCT, HULI KA!!!...SA PRESINTO KA NA MAGPALIWANAG!
ReplyDeleteAGRESSIVE & SUICIDAL ang mga CHINESE by nature... CCTV doesn't lie... kitang-kita kung sino ang nagpasimula ng gulo, yung chinese!!!
ReplyDeletepwede bang pakiban na lang ng mga mainlanders sa ating country.
ReplyDeleteKaya yan mga mababait at parang mga maaamung tupa duon sa tate kase alam nilang makakatikim talaga sila ng seryosong disiplina at pagtutuwid kapag nag inarte at paiiralin nila ang kayabangan at pagiging brat nila duon.
ReplyDeletedito sa pinas alam nila na they can get away with everything kaya ang lalakas ng loob at ang yayabang pang mag inarte ng mga yan.
buti nga sa isang to akala niya porke babae siya e makakapaginarte na siya ng ganyan, siguro inakala niya na hindi siya papatulan ng lalakeng officer kase alam niya na siguro yung culture naten ng pagiging magalang at mas maluwang sa mga babae due to her lengthy stay here in our country, pero nagwala siya at nanakit at nag pose ng threat sa isang public airport kaya nakatikim siya.
dapat lang yan sa kanya na madisiplina at matuwid.
she deserves it.
And yet , wala tayong nakitang video ng alleged "biting" . hahhahaha! Kayong mga immigration ngayon ang "GUILT Y UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT" sa mata ng taong bayan. Tutal ganyan din naman ang trayo niyo sa mga Pinoy na gustong mag vacation sa ibang bansa na hinohold nyo at ineenterrogate for no reason!
ReplyDelete-IAmRP
This woman should know that she enters into another country...the bureau of immigration has the authority to question and as a visitor she had to submit herself to their procedures. (proper papers, questioning, showing your intent in entering the country, etc.) What she did was IMPROPER! The officials too, I am surprise did not handle it properly! There should be airport police to handle this kind of situation, and file a case against her illegal entry, before deportation.
