Airport Immigration Exec Sacked for Shouting at Luli

The Bureau of Immigration on Wednesday fired a control officer at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport after he allegedly shouted at President Arroyo's daughter on Tuesday, ABS-CBN News reported Wednesday.

"Hindi po maganda ang ipinakita ni Padlan and we took action right away (We had to take action right away because what he did was wrong)," said Ferdie Sampol, the burea's officer in charge at NAIA.

Sampol was referring to Edgardo Padlan, an immigration officer at the airport's departure area.

The report said that Luli Arroyo was waiting in line at the service lane for diplomats and handicapped past 11 a.m. Tuesday when the alleged shouting took place. The younger Arroyo was on her way to Hong Kong to meet up with her parents. The President is currently in the Chinese mainland for an official visit.

Arroyo said she noticed that Padlan accommodated and immediately processed the passport of foreigner behind her. "Mali talaga iyong ginawa. Ang ayaw natin mabahiran ang ating immigration na mukha silang corrupt. Kung may relasiyon man sila ng dayuhang iyon mali din 'yun kawawa naman iyon mga sumusunod sa patakaran," Arroyo said.

Padlan, who did not recognize the President’s daughter, raised his voice when she complained about the unfair treatment. The incident prompted Immigration Commissioner Alipio Fernandez to dismiss Padlan.

Reached for comment, Padlan said he will ask Arroyo for forgiveness.

"As a human being, of course I will accept (the apology)," she said.

She clarified that the Padlan’s dismissal was the decision of the BID.

A Malacañan statement also said that it had no part in Padlan's dismissal.

"That has nothing to do with kung anumang desisyon ng Immigration wala akong kapangyarihan or personality para makialam doon sa kanilang imbestigasyon ( I have no power or personality to meddle in the bureau's investigation)," she said.

Arroyo said she did not call her mother about the incident. "Ayoko nang dagdagan ng problema ang mommy ko (I don't want to add up to her problems)." With reports from Alex Santos, TV Patrol World, DZMM

==========================================

Tanga naman ng Padlan na ito, di kilala si Luli? (Sabagay, bibihira rin kasing makita sa TV/dyaryo ito.) At saka, di ba niya halata, maraming body guards ito? Di man lang siya nagtanong?

Buti nga sa kaniya (kay Padlan), kahit sa mga OFWs, abuso itong mga ogags na Immigration Officers sa NAIA. Aral na sa kanila yan!
