The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has reiterated its warning to foreign nationals not to submit fake entry exemption documents to the country's ports of entry.

BI Commissioner Jaime Morente issued the warning as he noted that some classes of foreign nationals may be allowed to enter the country upon presentation of entry exemption documents secured from the Philippine posts abroad.
"Unscrupulous individuals may attempt to falsify such documents, which authenticity can be easily verified,” said Morente.
The requirement was implemented following an Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) resolution revising the travel restrictions for inbound aliens.
The BI released a similar warning last October after intercepting an alien seafarer who attempted to enter the country using a falsified document.
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has released an advisory warning the citizenry against scams and at the same time asked them to report such racket to authorities.
Morente advised aliens desiring to travel to the Philippines to visit the BI website, or send a message to its Facebook page about current travel restrictions.
