TOURIST visa lamang umano ang hawak ng Spanish national na si Javier Salvador Parra na nakita sa video na nagmumura sa pulis na sumita sa kanyang katulong dahil nagdidilig ito sa labas ng walang suot na face mask.
Ayon kay House committee on labor and employment chairman at 1Pacman Rep. Enrico Pineda sinabihan siya ng Bureau of Immigration na tourist visa lamang ang gamit ni Parra.
“Mr. Parra was only issued a tourist visa. He may already be overstaying in the Philippines. By his own admission, in the video recording released in social media, Mr. Parra employs 80 Filipinos. That’s a violation of the conditions of his tourist visa which prohibits him from engaging in any form of business while in our country,” ani Pineda.
Noong Marso 19 ay inanunsyo ni Foreign Affairs Sec. Teddyboy Locsin ang suspensyon ng pagbibigay ng visa at visa-free privileges sa mga dayuhan.
“The DFA already announced that all previously issued Philippine visas to foreign nationals are deemed cancelled. This was done so that foreign nationals will not stay in the Philippines during the COVID19 ECQ. Mr. Parra is not a permanent resident of the Philippines. If he only had a Tourist Visa, how is he staying here?” tanong ni Pineda.
Kahapon ay nagsampa na ang kaso ang Makati Police laban kay Parra.
