Tracking Down Fugitives The Crucial Role of BI in Makati and Parañaque

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has once again showcased its effectiveness in tracking down fugitives, successfully apprehending two South Korean nationals wanted for their involvement in illegal online gambling operations across Asia. The arrests took place in the cities of Makati and Parañaque, highlighting the importance of cooperation between law enforcement agencies to bring criminals to justice.

As we examine the role of BI in apprehending these fugitives, it is essential to understand the significance of this operation. Seo Hyemi, 38, and Park Unbae, 48, were arrested on November 6 amid an Interpol Red Notice issued in May 2025, reflecting an arrest warrant from the Incheon District Court for violations related to their illegal gambling activities.

The Bureau of Immigration's Crucial Role

The BI's success in apprehending these fugitives is a testament to its commitment to upholding the rule of law. By collaborating with Interpol and other international agencies, the BI has demonstrated its ability to track down individuals who have fled the country to avoid prosecution. This cooperation is vital in bringing criminals to justice, regardless of their nationality or location.

The Importance of Upholding the Law

As we celebrate the BI's success in apprehending these fugitives, it is essential to remember that upholding the law requires a collective effort from all stakeholders. As citizens, we must abide by the law and respect the authority of law enforcement agencies like the BI. By doing so, we can help create a safer and more just society for everyone.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the BI's role in apprehending two South Korean fugitives wanted for illegal online gambling operations is a significant victory in the fight against crime. As we navigate the complexities of international crime, it is essential that we recognize the importance of collaboration between law enforcement agencies and the public. By working together, we can create a safer and more just society for everyone.
