Ikinabigla at ikinainis ng dating Japanese adult film actress na si Maria Ozawa ang pag-upload sa Facebook ng isang Immigration officer ng kanyang larawan at passport.
Sa kanyang Facebook post kahapon, September 14, sinabi ni Maria na nalabag ang kanyang karapatang pantao sa ginawa ng naturang Philippine Immigration employee.
Sa post ng isang nagngangalang Armee Camzon, na ibinahagi ni Maria, nakasaad dito ang mga salitang “I bet you know this girl.”
Sinagot pa nito ang tanong ng isa niyang kaibigan kung maganda ba si Maria.
Sagot ni Armee, “Hnd nga e wahahahaha oops.”
“THIS IS VERY WRONG.” Sa mahabang Facebook post ni Maria, sinabi niyang siya ay nangangamba na makompromiso ang kanyang seguridad dahil sa pangyayari.
Ikinadismaya rin niya ang ginawa ng naturang government employee na pagpapakalat ng kanyang passport.
Narito ang kabuuang mensahe ni Maria:
“I don't know if I should be mad or sad... or even post this but since it's something really wrong I would like to share it with you guys.
“One of my friends texted me today with this picture saying my privacy might be going viral.
“At first I didn't know what she was talking about but when I saw the picture of my ID/alien card posted saying 'I bet you know this girl' made me so mad and sad at the same time.
“This is very wrong. Immigration is a place where people TRUST and give their private accounts, details and look what she's done to my privacy...Posting it on her social media.
“I LOVE this country and I'm doing my VERY best to stay here for good but how can I stay here for good when people like this really exist?
“How I'm I supposed to trust people? If this was just someone I knew or some random people posting it for fun I can understand. They are just being bastos.
“But people who actually work in the immigration doing stuff like this? I just cannot believe it.
“The grab/Uber incident was bad as it is and then this happens...
“Should I file a complaint? My managers already know about this sad incident so I will leave it up to them but it's just too sad and depressing I had to share it with you guys.“
BUREAU OF IMMIGRATION INVESTIGATES. Sa ulat ng GMA News online kagabi, sinabi ng spokesperson ng Bureau of Immigration (BI) na si Ma. Antonette Mangrobang na iniimbestigahan na nila ang pangyayari.
Sabi pa niya, "The BI Personnel Section was tasked to confirm whether the person who holds the account is one among BI's almost 2,000 employees.
"We assure the public that such case is isolated and the right to privacy of BI's clients is our paramount concern.”
Hindi daw palalagpasin ng ahensiya ang ganitong mga kabulastugan.
NOT FILING A CASE. Sa inilabas namang pahayag ngayong hapon lamang ng Huwebes, September 15, sinabi ng mga managers ni Maria na hindi na sila magsasampa ng kaso.
Naniniwala daw sila na gagawa ng karampatang action ang BI sa iresponsable nilang empleyado.
Narito ang pahayag na ibinahagi ni Maria Ozawa sa kanyang Facebook:
“The managers of Maria Ozawa are not pursuing any legal actions.
"We believe that Bureau of Immigration will make the necessary actions pertaining to the matter done by one employee and is not representative of the agency as a whole.
"The Management is satisfied with the statements the spokesperson of Bureau of immigration earlier released regarding the matter.
"As a foreign artist working in the Philippines the management of Maria Ozawa believes that the Bureau of Immigration is a partner agency in the welfare of foreign nationals in the Philippines."
"We look forward continuously engaging them in a professional manner."
