243 Chinese Nationals were deported back to China after they were discovered in Ortigas Center in Pasig last month.

They were escorted by the Chinese Police as they all boarded three aircrafts’ of Xiamen Air.

The first flight, Xiamen Air Flight MF-8130 departed at NAIA terminal 1 around 1 p.m. while Xiamen Air Flight MF-832’s departure was 1:02 p.m. and Xiamen Air Flight MF-878 departed around 1:37 p.m.

Immigration Spokesperson Dana Sandoval said they were all undocumented.

Chinese Authorities verified that some were also fugitives, and are wanted for large scale fraud and investment scams in their country.

The Chinese government verified with the Bureau of Immigration (BI) that these fugitives’ passports were already canceled, identifying them as undocumented aliens.
