The Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested 13 Chinese nationals on October 30 for illegal mining in Homonhon Island, Guiuan, Eastern Samar, the agency said on Sunday.
The BI said the Chinese nationals were discovered in two mining sites on Homonhon Island.
“Reports show that 11 of the arrested individuals held working visas but were found working for a different company, a violation of their visa conditions. One individual held a retiree’s visa, while another was identified as an overstaying alien,” the BI’s statement read.
