“The Bureau has received a copy of the order from the Office of the Ombudsman effectively directing the dismissal from service of 45 immigration personnel and a copy of an order from the Department of Justice (DOJ) dismissing 18 personnel. We respect the decision of the Ombudsman and the DOJ, and will implement the same immediately,” said Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente in a statement issued on Tuesday.

MANILA – The office of Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla on Wednesday announced the appointment of new officer-in-charge at the Bureau of Immigration (BI), one of the attached agencies of the Department of Justice (DOJ).
In a department order, Rogelio D. Gevero Jr. was designated as OIC effective immediately until the end of the month, or until a replacement has been appointed or designated.
Prior to his designation, Gevero was the chief of the BI’s Immigration Regulation Division.
“The Department of Justice wishes him the best of luck and will be behind him in his newly designated position as OIC,” lawyer Mico Clavano told reporters speaking in behalf of Remulla.
Remulla earlier identified the BI along with the Land Registration Authority and the Bureau of Corrections as agencies under the DOJ that need attention.
Earlier, Remulla also designated National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Deputy Director Medardo G. De Lemos, a 37-year veteran of the NBI, as the agency’s OIC. De Lemos had been second in command of the NBI to its last OIC, Eric Distor.
