The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has arrested an Estonian vlogger who reportedly harassed Filipinos, including minors, and chased and asked “inappropriate questions” to young women.

The BI identified the foreign vlogger as Siim Roosipuu, 34 years old, who was arrested by the bureau’s intelligence operatives and anti-terrorist group last Jan. 15 in Dumaguete City.

Deportation proceedings have been initiated against Roosipuu who has a YouTube channel called “Pro Life Traveler.”

Immigration Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado said the Philippines “is not a content playground.”

“We welcome tourists and legitimate creators, but anyone who exploits our people for views, clicks, or profit will face arrest, deportation, and blacklisting,” Viado warned.

He also said that harassment, public disturbance, and disrespect -- whether done for entertainment or monetized online -- are serious violations that will not be excused under the guise of vlogging.

Thus, he stressed that foreign nationals who test the limits of Philippine hospitality should expect consequences.

“If you come here to provoke, insult, or humiliate Filipinos, your stay will be short and your exit will be permanent,” he said.

Viado recalled the case of Russian vlogger Vitaly Zdorovetskiy who had been deported.

“This is another Vitaly case -- different person, same behavior. A foreign vlogger comes here, disrespects Filipinos, violates our laws, and thinks he can hide behind a camera and a social media following. That ends here,” Viado declared.

Roosipuu has already been declared persona non grata in Negros Oriental after residents complained of harassment, unauthorized filming, offensive remarks, and online content that demeaned Filipinos.

The Dumaguete City council issued a resolution against the vlogger, and this was endorsed to national agencies, triggering enforcement action and the foreigner’s arrest.
