Warrants of arrest against both accused were issued by the public security bureau of Luxi county in Jianxi, China on March 17 this year, but they were not served as they fled to the Philippines on tourist visas.
At the request of Chinese authorities, Philippine immigration authorities managed to track down the two in their condominium unit in Tondo, Manila on October 31.
“They will be deported for being undesirable aliens
and their names will be included in our blacklist, banning them from
re-entering the Philippines,” Commissioner Viado said.
