A clip of the reported arrest of company CEO Jeffrey Oh has been made public.
It came courtesy of Cristy Fermin's vlog.
It shows Bureau of Immigration (BI) officers talking to James Reid’s foreign business partner.
The singer-actor was also present.
Cristy read the statement by BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco about it.
She said: "Immigration agents arrested the 34-year-old American in Poblacion, Makati after reportedly engaging in gainful employment without the necessary work permit, in violation of Philippine immigration laws."
“A complaint lodged with the BI reported the American to have presented himself as the CEO of a Manila-based company, as well as the owner of several restaurants, without acquiring the necessary visas or permits. He will be facing a deportation charge and will remain in the BI’s facility in Bicutan, Taguig during the proceedings.”
