US government commends Philippines for preventing 200 American registered sex offenders from entering.
The United States government has commended the Bureau of Immigration (BI) for preventing 200 American registered sex offenders (RSOs) from entering the Philippines in 2018.
Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said Friday the bureau was recently awarded a certificate of commendation by the US Embassy in Manila after registering the second highest number of excluded American RSOs throughout the world last year.
Mexico, which shares a land border with the US in the southwest, recorded the highest number of intercepted RSOs.
“I commend our officers deployed at our ports of entry for a job well done. Because of your vigilance and alertness, you were able to turn away these sex offenders to protect fellow Filipinos from possible exploitation,” Morente said in a statement.
The US Embassy’s citation specifically commended the BI’s port operations division (POD) as well as the airport operations section (AOS), travel control and enforcement unit (TCEU), and border control and enforcement unit (BCIU), which are all under the POD, for successfully implementing the “Angel Watch” program in the country’s ports.

A big question I have is…what is the US doing to prevent sex offenders form OTHER COUNTRIES from coming here??? As I understand it, most other countries DO NOT have a SOR.
And…according to activists against RSOs…only 10 % of total sex offenders have been caught and are on the registry.
I guess the US doesn’t care about the other 90% traveling to other countries. Hypocrisy lives in America.
Isn’t it interesting that when our President attempts to bar criminals and illegal aliens from entering OUR country, he is vilified as a racist, xenophobe, and every other kind of low life that liberals can think of. When he wants to control admission by people from countries that have professed enmity towards the US, again, he is called racist names.
But we let it stand that it is worthy of award that 200 registered citizens were turned away from the Philippines for their past actions, not for any overt or current violations of the law.
So, this is the U.S. complimenting the U.S.?
I guess I’d you don’t like it, leave!
Oh, wait! You can’t leave. Does that make us prisoners?
YES it does make us prisoners who are always under active surveillance and who are restricted and not allowed freedom of movement which is a human right.
Registration IS Punishment.
Everyone is screaming “NO walls, NO borders”, yet they wont let you see the world. Isnt the Philippines (Asia) one of the biggest child sex trafficking places in the world?
I find this funny, if it werent so pitiful. They dont want you there, yet have no problem sending you a “child mail order bride”.
The Doctors in the “therapy sessions” constantly hammer into you do not be labeled. That is your therapy. Yet once you leave “group” you have to live in a world that labels you.
Whos exploiting who
Doesn’t this country have a problem with child prostitution themselves, with families there selling their kids for sex or something similar ? So the natives can act on it but foreigners can’t seems to be their understanding ? lol. wow. I wonder if an IML challenge can come up with those 200 Americans being rejected entry into the country.
Your exactly right. My daughter inlaw is phillipine. She has told us how different the culture is morally different.
