The Bureau of Immigration, in coordination with the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team of Bohol Police Provincial Office and the Dauis Philippine National Police recently arrested and deported a Japanese national at his conjugal residence in Tabalong, Dauis town. In an after mission report, it was gathered that the erring foreigner was arrested and subsequently deported for having contracted marriage twice. He was married to a compatriot but subsequent investigation showed that he also married a Filipina. The SWAT team was headed by PCInsp Nicomedes Olaivar Jr. while the Dauis PNP team was headed by PInsp Albert Timpac.

The Japanese national identified as Toshiki Sato was arrested after a hearing conducted by the Bureau of Immigration in a deportation case filed against him. The Immigration Bureau cancelled the Quota Visa of Sato after he admitted during the hearing that he was penniless even before coming to the Philippines. A Quota Immigrant Visa is a permanent resident visa which requires the applicant to provide a US$40,000 investment to ensure that the foreigner seeking to live in the country permanently is not a financial burden to the society. Sato likewise admitted during the hearing that the money he used for the processing of his Quota Visa, and the purchase of the house and lot in Dauis came from his Japanese wife, Tomiko Oki. Sato was also found to have falsified/misrepresented his civil status in his application for quota visa after he stated that he was single, when in fact he was married.

Sato's wife, Tomiko Oki, had earlier filed cases against him and one Silvestra Jayectin for concubinage or marriage contracted against provision of law. In the said cases, Oki accused Sato of marrying his live-in partner, the same Silvestra Jayectin, even if he was still married to his Japenese wife. She also filed a case for Performance of Illegal Marriage Ceremony against Msgr. Vicente Matias Nunag III whom she accused to have illegally officiated the wedding. Oki likewise filed a case against Sato for Violation of the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act (for Marital Infidelity and Economic Violence), and against Sato, Jayectin and lawyer Pablito Grecio A. Magdoza, for Falsification of a Public Document, for forging Oki's signature as petitioner in an alleged Petition for Nullity of Marriage

. When the arresting team arrived at the vicinity, caretakers Cesario Sumaylo and Benito Jayectin, Silvestra's brother, refused to open the gates. The SWAT team was forced to climb over the gates and open them. Sato was found hiding in one of the rooms in the house. That same afternoon, Sato was brought to Manila and detained at the Bureau of Immigration Detention Center at Bicutan, Taguig before he was finally deported back to Japan . Despite the efforts of Sato's lawyers Mia Manuelita Mascarinas-Green and Dodelon Sabijon, they were not able to prevent the deportation of their client. The Bureau of Immigration commended the Bohol police for providing a very efficient back-up support in Sato's arrest. Lawyer Ramon Calubag, head of the Intelligence Division of the Immigration Regional Office said that he was impressed and never saw such precision and speed in the coordination and execution of an arrest mission.
