As part of the Bureau of Immigration’s efforts to strengthen its operations, the agency has welcomed 25 new immigration officers into its ranks as they commence their training at the Philippine Immigration Academy (PIA) starting April 1.
The PIA’s 27-day fast track program will equip these new immigration officers with essential skills and knowledge in border control techniques, immigration procedures, and security protocols, BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco said.
The curriculum is tailored to prepare these officers for their pivotal roles as primary inspectors in airports, ensuring efficient and effective immigration processes.
The batch comprises 9 females and 16 males, and will be undergoing training on immigration laws, passenger assessment, and effective public service.
"[These new immigration officers] represent the fresh face of Bagong Immigration, aligning with the national government's Bagong Pilipinas campaign,” Tansingco added.
Upon completion of their training, said officers are slated to be deployed to major international airports and frontline offices by May 1.
