MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Immigration (BI) on Sunday said it arrested a Chinese national for attempting to depart the country using a fake Mexican passport at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1.

According to BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco in a statement, the officers assigned at NAIA Terminal 1 arrested Lho Zhi Min, 54, on Saturday morning.

BI reports showed that the Chinese national presented a Mexican passport, but could not answer basic questions before departing for Kuala Lumpur.
