一则“中国女游客在菲律宾机场遭男性工作人员暴打”的视频近日在马尼拉华人圈引发愤怒。6日上午，中国驻菲律宾大使馆总领事邱舰等人赴菲律宾移民局向移民局局长米顺提出交涉，要求菲移民局彻查5日凌晨发生的这一事件。6日晚18时，记者通过电话联系到这名被打中国女子时，她称当时正在机场关押室，当晚晚些时候菲方面将决定将她遣返还是允许入关，但之后记者再拨打她的电话一直无法接通。据记者从菲律宾方面了解，她已被遣返回国。
据这名江姓女子透露，她于5月4日上午7时左右搭乘班机抵达马尼拉尼蕊-阿基诺国际机场3号航站楼，在入关时受到菲移民局人员盘问，由于她的护照上有很多之前在菲律宾延期签证的盖章，移民局人员怀疑她虽然持旅游签证，但有在菲律宾非法务工之嫌，并要将她遣返回中国。江姓女子感到不服，认为自己此前虽然曾在菲律宾工作，但此次就是来旅游，仅凭护照上签证印章数目过多不足以构成立即遣返的条件，并与移民局工作人员理论，但移民局人员将她交给其他工作人员处理。
后来，一位“穿着蓝色制服的人”强制将她关入机场内的海关待遣返区。江姓女子说，待遣返区中除她以外还有两名男子，其中一个是中国人、另一个是越南人，且卫生条件不佳，加上看守他们的是一名男士，导致她直到5日凌晨2时也不敢合眼。她说，此时自己已经身心俱疲，精神也有点恍惚，又感觉自己受到侮辱，于是拖着行李箱到关押室外找人理论，要求他们允许自己离开。
这段由另一名乘客用手机拍摄的56秒视频显示，江姓女子被两男一女3名菲律宾工作人员在地面上拖行，其中一名男子穿着便衣但佩戴有身份证卡。江姓女子称，当时两个人拖着她，另外一个人在后面用脚踹她。她歇斯底里的叫喊“你为什么打我？”接着站起来并喊道“我跟你拼了”，冲向那名男性工作人员，并用其女式手包向他身上甩去，与后者扭打起来，该男子则连续给了江姓女子4个耳光，并把她强行推入关押室，两人继续在里面叫喊。其间，一名身穿制服的菲方女性工作人员推着红色的行李箱，一直目睹这一切，并未采取制止行为。这一视频被曝光后，引起很多当地华人的愤慨，纷纷在网上发帖要求中国驻菲使馆出面向菲政府交涉，要求放人和惩办打人的机场人员。
中国驻菲律宾大使馆总领事邱舰6日对移民局长米顺表示，大使馆理解并尊重菲移民局依法做出的决定和执法行为，亦会引导教育本国公民遵法守法，但对于粗暴执法行为、损害中方人员合法权益的行为，中国驻菲律宾大使馆坚决反对，不能接受，菲移民局应对此事件做出负责任的处理。
米顺表示，已经指示相关主管人员和部门彻查。任何国家来菲访客都应遵守菲律宾移民法律，菲律宾执法官员则必须公平公正执法，绝不允许借执法为名损害他人权益，一旦发生必须严肃处理，移民局将严肃认真处理此事。(庄铭灯王盼盼)
MANILA – The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) is investigating an immigration agent who was caught on video hitting a female Chinese national at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 last Sunday.
MIAA officer-in-charge Vicente Guerzon, Jr. directed NAIA 3 manager Octavio Lina to investigate the incident wherein a man in civilian clothes was seen on a cellphone video manhandling a female Chinese national. Two uniformed security personnel, reportedly from Cebu Pacific, were also captured in the video.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Lina said the man in civilian clothes exchanging blows with the female Chinese passenger is Immigration intelligence agent Benjie Magallon.
The passenger was identified as Jiang Huixing, a Cebu Pacific passenger who had just arrived from Beijing.
Lina said Jiang was the subject of an “airport to airport proceeding” for violating an immigration policy prohibiting foreigners from illegally working in the country.
Jiang ‘s travel records indicate that she is a frequent traveler to the Philippines.
Authorities said Jiang would use up all the time she is allowed to stay in the Philippines, return to China and then go back to Manila to resume her work as a teacher in an exclusive Chinese school.
Lina said immigration officials ordered Jiang’s deportation but the latter resisted uniformed personnel from Cebu Pacific.
The airline personnel then asked Magallon to help.
Lina said MIAA has coordinated with Cebu Pacific to identify the two uniformed security guards. MIAA also asked the Bureau of Immigration to require their agents to submit incident reports.
“The airport authority is seriously investigating this incident to determine what caused the incident,” Lina said. – By Raoul Esperas
