MANILA: The Bureau of Immigration (BI) will undergo a major overhaul that will see the reassignment of officers and personnel, especially those who have been staying in their posts for more than five years.
Siegfred Mison, BI officer-in-charge, said the overhaul plan came after Justice Secretary Leila de Lima issued an order that reassigned and designated four of the nine heads of the BI’s vital divisions, namely the administrative, management, regulation, registration, intelligence, law and investigation, airport operations, verification and compliance, and board of special inquiry.
“All section chiefs and heads of other units lower than a division shall be designated by the OIC-Commissioner of the Bureau of Immigration with prior notice to the secretary,” De Lima said.
Mison said he had signed an order implementing De Lima’s order and is also set to start a reorganisation plan for section chiefs and heads of units or middle level management of the bureau. The Philippine star
