Whistleblower on ‘Pastillas’ scheme now under witness protection custody

The immigration officer who turned against his workmates allegedly involved in the so-called “pastillas” bribery scheme has been placed under the custody of the Witness Protection Program.
Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra on Friday said Senate President Tito Sotto and Senator Risa Hontiveros made the request to include Immigration Officer Allison “Alex” Chiong, who received death threats after he exposed that Chinese nationals are allegedly paying immigration officers to have a smooth entry in the Philippines.
