chinese nationals: It quoted Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente as saying the detainees, most of whom appeared to be undocumented, will undergo deportation proceedings, according to The Japan Times. Morente added that his bureau will continue to root out illegal aliens, especially those engaged in unauthorized online gaming activities, cyber fraud and investment scams that prey on unsuspecting victims who are mostly abroad. The Bureau of Immigration late Tuesday said 324 Chinese nationals were arrested in Puerto Princesa City on Palawan island during Monday's operation. ; Aliens were reportedly rounded up in eight hotels and establishments where they were caught in the act of doing their illegal activities, the bureau said in a press release. Last Friday, authorities said Philippines police arrested 277 Chinese nationals in a raid on a gang wanted over a vast investment fraud that cost victims in China millions of dollars. Monday's raids in Palawan stemmed from reports made by local officials about the presence of illegal Chinese workers in Puerto Princesa, the immigration bureau's acting intelligence chief Fortunato Manahan said in the statement. Agents swooped on an office building in the capital Manila to take four suspects into custody in connection with the 100 million yuan 14 million scam, but said they stumbled on many more conducting illegal online operations.
