MORE Immigration (BI) officers and employees assigned to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) may be axed from their posts pending results of an ongoing investigation by a fact finding committee into the so-called 'pastillas' scam.

Immigration spokesman Dana Sandoval told The Manila Times on Saturday that 19 officers assigned to the three terminals of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) were immediately relieved from their positions after the 'pastillas' scam was exposed by Sen. Risa Hontiveros during a committee hearing at the Senate last week.
