MANILA, Philippines 鈥 Three Malaysians who claimed to be members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) were barred from entering the Philippines after the Bureau of Immigration (BI) discovered that they intended to join a protest against government.

In a statement on Sunday, BI said Jessica Lynn Henry, Mimielianna Annie Anak Leesoi and Andrijosebaul Anak Garra, all in their mid-20s, arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport last August 27.

They came with a group of Filipinos who also presented themselves as KJC members.

The Malaysians were 鈥渁bandoned鈥 by their Filipino companions after the foreigners were referred for further immigration inspection.

The BI said the Malaysians were denied entry because they intended to join a protest.

鈥淥ur immigration officers discovered their intent to participate in anti-government demonstrations being staged by KOJC members who are protesting the ongoing manhunt for Pastor Quiboloy,鈥 said Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco, as quoted in the statement.

He stressed that 鈥渇oreigners have no business interfering in the country鈥檚 internal political affairs.鈥

鈥淭hus, aliens who join these protest actions can be expelled for violating our immigration laws and for being undesirable aliens,鈥 he warned.

The Malaysians claimed they were going to Davao City at the invitation of the KJC, BI said.

However, they could not show any proof of their financial capacity to support their stay in the country.

They also admitted they were unemployed, the BI added.

The Malaysians have been placed in the immigration blacklist and boarded back to a flight to their home country last August 28.
