The Bureau of Immigration (BI) confirms that former House Speaker Lord Allan Velasco is currently outside the Philippines. BI says there is no derogatory record that would prevent his departure.
Both outlets report that BI’s confirmation indicates no hold departure order is in effect and that relevant immigration checks do not show a record that would block his exit. The reporting centers on BI’s statement that Velasco’s travel status is consistent with existing immigration records and that there are no legal or administrative restrictions identified by the bureau at the time of the confirmation.
The articles do not provide details on where he is or why he left, focusing instead on BI’s determination regarding departure clearance and the absence of any blocking record.
