"The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has successfully deported American national Lee O’Brian.

"It can be recalled that last year, Filipino comedian Marietta Subong, more popularly known as Pokwang, filed a deportation case against her ex-partner for working without proper permits.

"In her complaint, Subong claimed that O’Brian rendered work in different production companies without securing required Department of Labor and Employment and BI permits.

"The BI found merit in the said complaint and ordered O’Brian deported in December for violation of the conditions of his stay. O’Brian filed for a motion for reconsideration, which was eventually denied.

"BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco said that O’Brian was deported evening of April 8 on board a Philippine Airlines flight to San Francisco after the BI confirmed that he has no pending local case in the Philippines.

"As a consequence of his deportation, his name has been included in the BI’s blacklist, barring any future attempts to re-enter the country," buong pahayag ng Bureau of Immigration.
