Associate David A. Wiseman set a hearing for the respondent, Elvis B. Tibong, to show cause as to why he should not be deported from the CNMI.
The hearing will be held on Feb. 12 at 1:30 p.m.
The petitioners stated that the respondent is a citizen of the Republic of the Philippines with a nonresident worker’s entry status.
Tibong has failed to comply with the requirements of his entry, the petitioners stated.
They added that Tibong has overstayed in the CNMI without lawful documentation which is a violation of the law.
Investigator John Peter of the AGO said based on the information from the Labor and Immigration Identification and Documentation System, Tibong’s nonresident worker’s entry permit expired on April 14, 2007.
Peter said the respondent has no pending labor case and he was not issued any temporary work authorization.
He also does not have any pending employment application, no pending administrative action and he did not register with the Department of Labor’s Employment Section for further employment opportunity.
On Nov. 26, 2008, Peter said the employer of the respondent told him that Tibong wanted to move to Saipan from Rota to look for another employer. However, Peter said the respondent’s employer said the respondent might have lied and was still on Saipan with his girlfriend, who was also overstaying.
Wiseman said if the respondent fails to show up for the hearing on Feb. 12, a judgment by default may be taken against him and a bench warrant may be issued for his arrest.
