NAIA Airport Immigration Text Mate: Immigration Officer Uses Personal Info on Forms to Text Pretty Traveler 
 
 
Imagine passing through your airport security with no fuss. No lines, no fuss, nothing crazy. It’s a nice way to start a trip right? But then, imagine getting home and getting private texts on your phone from the immigration officers apparently looking for a text mate?!?! 
 
Below is a story posted on Facebook about a travelers’s NAIA 3 airport immigration ordeal: 
 
I passed through immigration at NAIA 3 today at around 1230pm. I filled out the required forms which were then received by the immigration officer – no fuss, easy peasy. One hour later, I received this text. This public officer used my personal CONFIDENTIAL information for his own personal use. I find this to be very disturbing – an extreme invasion of privacy. I had my home address written on that form!!! Does anyone know anyone who works for immigration? I hope you can pass this on to the proper authorities. Thanks

What are your thoughts on this? 

Please forward so the proper authorities can see this and take proper action. Our private information should be better taken care of.

Response from the Bureau of Immigration Commissioner: 

As head of the Bureau, kindly accept my apology for the inappropriate and offensive behavior of one of our Immigration Officers. Help us in the investigation. xinfo@immigration.gov.ph
