"We have coordinated with the Manado Immigration detention house regarding the deportation of the 15 Filipinos."Ambon, Maluku (ANTARA News) - The Ambon immigration office in Maluku province is once again deporting 15 Philippine nationals through the Manado, North Sulawesi`s immigration, an immigration official said.
"We have sent the 15 Philippine nationals to the Manado Immigration detention house for immediate deportation to their country," Ambon Immigration office head Enang Supriadi said here on Thursday.
He said that the Manado Immigration office had been chosen to send back the foreigners because the Philippines had its consulate general office in North Sulawesi.
"We have coordinated with the Manado Immigration detention house regarding the deportation of the 15 Filipinos," he said.
He said that the 15 Philippine nationals had left for Manado on April 19, 2011 who were accompanied by two immigration officials from Ambon.
Enang said that the Filipinos were arrested in the Seram waters by the patrol boat of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries on October 22, 2010.
