ANGELES City is the country’s third income generating city next to Metro Manila and Cebu City.

This according to Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan’s statement during the launching of the Bureau of Immigration’s (BI) service caravan dubbed “Service Beyond the Metro: Lakbay-Ugnayan sa Aming Ika-75 Kaarawan”.

As one of the highly urbanized cities with big revenues, the mayor said Angeles is also one of the places in the Philippines with a large foreigner population like Koreans, Americans, Australians, Chinese, and Malaysians.

Pamintuan lauded the bureau for launching the program saying that the foreign nationals, particularly those who are engaged in illegal activities, will be controlled.

The bureau issued a new ruling requiring foreign national clearance from local government units before they can start doing business.

“Meron pa kaming nakukuhang information before you can even start your business here, you must first join a syndicate. Ito po totoo ito, this is an open secret here,” Pamintuan said.

The caravan is also scheduled to visit other key cities in the country to provide services like long stay visitor visa extension, extension and implementation of student visa, updating of stay, alien registration program, and application and issuance of Alien Certificate of Registry card.
