MANILA &mdash; Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said Monday he wanted Bureau of Immigration (BI) Commissioner Norman Tansingco replaced citing the sneaky escape of dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo and the supposed issuance of visas to fake corporations.&quot;We completely lost any trust or confidence in him,&quot; Remulla said of Tansingco, adding that he had spoken with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. about the issue.The justice chief said he had raised concerns with Tansingco over a month ago regarding allegations that working visas were being issued to fake corporations to bring in illegal gambling workers.&quot;I told him to make sure these are canceled... but he never did anything,&quot; Remulla told ANC.&nbsp;&quot;It&#39;s a pattern of behavior that they have been carrying out for the past year or so about how they treat their job. And I think that should speak for itself,&quot; he added.Tansingco has yet to issue a statement regarding the fresh accusations of Remulla.The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission last week said there was no evidence of collusion between BI personnel and Guo to help her escape the country.But Remulla said the commission has &quot;a very superficial view of the problems&quot; within the agency. &quot;They do not know the actual score within the Bureau of Immigration,&quot; he said.<a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/9/7/alice-guo-s-great-escape-began-on-small-boats-ends-in-private-jet-after-indonesia-arrest-1724" id="isPasted">READ: Alice Guo&rsquo;s great escape began on small boats, ends in private jet after Indonesia arrest</a> &#39;MAGIC&#39; Remulla said he was not convinced that Guo &mdash; also known by her Chinese name Guo Hua Ping &mdash; and her group snuck out of the country through small boats and added that he was convinced she must have used another passport.&quot;One thing definite is that they used planes and these were private planes probably or chartered flights, either of the two,&quot; he said, pointing out that Guo leads a &quot;very luxurious lifestyle&quot; and cannot spend days on boats without privacy.He also noted that there was no hold departure order issued against Guo to prevent her from leaving the country. Only an immigration lookout order was issued for her.&quot;She may have used another passport in her departure, they may have used their Chinese passports.
