MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Bureau of Immigration (BI) on Sunday deported US Marine Lance Corporal Joseph Scott Pemberton following his release from prison.<\/p>\n

BI spokesperson Dana Sandoval said Pemberton left the country on board a military plane for the United States at exactly 9:14 a.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cPemberton has successfully been deported, military plane left at exactly 9:14 this morning,\u201d Sandoval confirmed in a message to reporters.<\/p>\n

Pemberton, who has made headlines after being convicted of killing transgender Jennifer Laude in 2014, has likewise been banned from reentering the Philippines.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a consequence of the deportation order against him, Pemberton has been placed in the Bureau\u2019s blacklist, perpetually banning him from coming back,\u201d BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said in a press release issued on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Morente said Pemberton has been in the BI\u2019s blacklist since Sept. 16, 2015, when he was ordered deported by the Board of Commissioners for being an undesirable alien, after being charged for murder, and later being convicted of homicide.<\/p>\n

Pemberton reportedly filed a motion for reconsideration in November 2015, which was subsequently denied.<\/p>\n

The resolution stated that Pemberton\u2019s continued presence in the Philippines is not conducive \u201cfor the safety, welfare, happiness, or good order of Philippine society.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHis criminal case is separate from his immigration case,\u201d said Morente. \u201cThe Bureau saw that he is a risk to public safety, having been found guilty of the crime. Hence he was tagged as an undesirable alien, and will be expelled from the Philippines,\u201d Morente said.<\/p>\n

The BI ordered Pemberton\u2019s deportation more than three months before the Olongapo court rendered its verdict, which found him guilty of homicide and sentenced him to six to 12 years in prison.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing standard deportation procedures, we had to wait until he completed serving his sentence before we could implement the deportation order,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Morente said Pemberton underwent regular processing and booking procedures and was required to secure clearances from the appropriate offices, as well as to present a travel document, and outbound travel arrangements, before being deported.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon completion of the required documents, we immediately implemented the deportation,\u201d Morente said. \u201cHe was escorted by BI agents to ensure that he has boarded his aircraft. Should he attempt to reenter the country after being deported, he will be denied entry and will be excluded.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sandoval said BI personnel escorted US Marine from Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso with him were Embassy representatives. But at the plane, he was with US military,\u201d Sandoval added.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Sunday, the US Embassy said the Department of Justice authorized the release of Pemberton on Sept. 1 and President Rodrigo Duterte granted him an \u201cabsolute pardon” on Sept. 7.<\/p>\n

“All legal proceedings in the case took place under Philippine jurisdiction and law. Lance Cpl. Pemberton fulfilled his sentence as ordered by Philippine courts and he departed the Philippines on September 13,” the embassy said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Department of National Defense spokesman Arsenio Andolong said stricter guidelines will be crafted and implemented between the Philippines and the US in the conduct of joint exercises.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth sides are now more circumspect and, as a result, stricter guidelines will be crafted and implemented in the conduct of joint exercises, if there will be any and if the termination of the (Visiting Forces Agreement) VFA remains suspended,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Andolong made the comment when asked what measures should be taken by Philippines and US to avoid similar incident involving foreign soldier in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough we have not had any exercises in the Philippines since the Covid-19 pandemic affected our country, we have engaged our American counterparts in frank discussions regarding future incidents involving visiting military personnel,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Duterte said he granted Pemberton absolute pardon as he believed the latter was not treated “fairly” while detained because his good conduct time allowance (GCTA) credits were not recorded by Philippine authorities.<\/p>\n

The granting of pardon to Pemberton extinguished the issue of whether or not he is entitled to GCTA.\u00a0(With reports from Priam Nepomuceno and Ma. Teresa Montemayor\/PNA)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
