BI told: Issue payment rules on missed flights

A LAWMAKER reminded the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to issue guidelines on the expenses of Filipinos who missed their flights because of secondary inspection by immigration officers.

"In the 2024 General Appropriations Law, the travel expenses incurred by Filipino passengers who were deferred or denied boarding without a court order shall be charged from the balance of the BI's special trust fund account of accrued collections of express lane fees and charges," Makati City 2nd District Rep. Luis Campos Jr. said in a statement on Sunday.
