The Bureau of Immigration (BI) says it arrests two foreign nationals for allegedly operating a resort in Siargao despite holding only tourist visas. BI agents arrested 41-year-old New Zealand national Teryn Jane Spencer and 38-year-old Swiss national Dario Salvatore Di Capua on July 1 in San Isidro, Siargao, Surigao del Norte, during an entrapment operation. According to BI reports, an undercover BI personnel went to the resort and was shown available rooms and accommodation costs before the arrest. The BI says it will initiate deportation proceedings against the two suspects, citing that they are alleged to be running the resort while their immigration status allows only temporary tourist stay. Both outlets describe the case as an illegal resort operation involving tourist visas, with the arrests carried out through an entrapment setup. The reports do not provide details on the resort’s ownership structure beyond the alleged involvement of the two individuals, nor do they mention any charges filed in court at the time of reporting.
