BI confirms Cayetano siblings out of country

MANILA, Philippines - The Bureau of Immigration (BI) confirmed yesterday that siblings Senators Alan Peter and Pia Cayetano left the country last Wednesday.

The BI did not provide information on whether the two siblings boarded the same flight of if they were going to the same destination. Alan Peter was seen lining up at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 for a flight to Singapore.

They were allowed to leave because "there were no hold departure orders or derogatory records against the two senators, as of departure date, that would legally prevent them from leaving the country," the BI said.

Their Senate colleagues found nothing wrong with the travel of the Cayetanos and Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano, amid an investigation on their possible involvement in alleged public works anomalies in Taguig.
