Senators on Monday raised the need to investigate the reported entry into the country of Philippine passport-bearing foreigners whose travel documents turned out to be fraudulent. Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III expressed concern over the admission by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) that it had rounded up 10 people who tried to use passports that the agency had described as 'fraudulently issued.' 'I join the call of Senator (Nancy) Binay for the NBI (National Bureau of Investigation) to get to the bottom of this,' Pimentel said, noting that the disclosure exposes the supposed weakness of the Philippines' passport system.
