PINOL ASKS BID TO DEPORT ABUSIVE KOREAN PhilBoxing.com Fri, 16 Nov 2007 North Cotabato Vice Governor Manny Pinol who earlier whacked with a golf putter an abusive South Korean in Davao City last week has formally asked the Bureau of Immigration and Deportation (BID) to initiate deportation proceedings against the abusive foreigner. In his letter addressed to BID Commissioner Marcelino C. Libanan, Pinol said that foreigners in the Philippines must learn to show respect to the people of their host country. The Vice Governor is scheduled to meet with the BID Commissioner at 1 p.m. today. "Mr. Commissioner, I believe that we Filipinos must protect our honor and dignity as a people and foreigners like Young (Yong Yun) who look down at Filipinos and treat us with utter disrespect even in our own homeland should be kicked out of the Philippines." The South Korean was earlier accused by a Filipino golfer, Gary Santiago, of Davao City of hitting a ball towards his direction and shouting at him during a golf game at the Davao City Golf Club last Nov. 9. Confronted by Santiago, the Korean shouted at the Filipino golfer. When Vice Gov. Pinol, who was standing nearby admonished the foreigner not to shout at Filipinos, he too was shouted at by Young. The Vice Governor, known for his tough stance against rebels in his province, later whacked the South Korean with a golf putter when Young poked a golf club at Pinol's face. Young has filed slight physical injuries and slander by deeds charges against the Vice Governor who shrugged off the charges saying: "I regret that I did not hit him hard enough." "While Young's tourist visa will expire on Nov. 29, I believe that deporting him before the expiration of his visa would send a clear message to abusive foreigners in our country," Pinol said in his letter to Libanan. BID Director Ben Lao of Davao City earlier told the Vice Governor's Office that he will immediately arrest and deport the South Korean as soon as he receives an order from Commissioner Libanan.  |
