The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has deported on Friday (May 8, 2015) Thai national Prasertsri Kosin (also known as Koko Narak) to Thailand, two days after he surrendered to the bureau and was fired from his job for posting offensive and insulting comments against Filipinos on social media.
Atty. Elaine Tan, BI spokesperson, said Kosin was deported pursuant to a voluntary deportation order issued by the Board of Commissioners.
He was deported after he procured his outbound ticket and after the NBI issued a certification that the foreigner has no derogatory record or pending cases in the country.
Kosin earned the ire of the Philippine social media community in recent weeks for his racist comments on Facebook where he tagged Filipinos as “pignoys,” “stupid creatures,” “low-class slum slaves,” and a “useless race in the world.”
He was earlier charged by the BI for undesirability which he later admitted by turning himself to the bureau and filing a request for voluntary deportation.
Kosin also apologized on television for his misdeeds and asked Filipinos to forgive him, saying he hoped he would be allowed to return someday.
As a result of his deportation, the Thai national was placed in the immigration blacklist, which meant he is banned from re-entering the Philippines.
He was temporarily held at the BI Warden Facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig until he was deported.
