Sen. Leila de Lima wants to investigate the influx of Chinese nationals working and living in the Philippines, warning that this might trigger a further surge in property prices in many developed areas.
De Lima has filed Senate Resolution No. 751 that seeks to assess the implementation of immigration and labor laws to ensure that Filipinos are protected against the effects of surges in immigration.
“The increasingly lax control mechanisms over the influx of Chinese nationals in the Philippines have led to concerns on whether we have enough capability to properly enforce our immigration and labor laws to the detriment of our national interest,” she said.

She warned that aside from causing property price surges, the influx of Chinese nationals working in the Philippines might also mean lesser jobs for Filipinos.
