Medina said Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente ordered the reshuffle of the BCIU personnel, whose primary tasks are to monitor foreign passengers and assist BI officers in detecting suspected human trafficking victims. He noted that the BCIU personnel at the NAIA have not been reshuffled for nearly three years. Three weeks ago, the BI revamped 513 immigration officers assigned to immigration counters at the NAIA. Medina said the rotation of the BI officers was long overdue as they had to wait for the lifting of the ban on transfer of government employees during the midterm elections. “We are planning to synchronize the movement of immigration officers with the BCIU personnel,” he said.
