PHILIPPINES: Immigration agents arrested on Wednesday 22 South Korean tour guides working without permits in the Philippines.

The South Koreans were rounded up at Manila's international airport, where they were supposed to meet a group of tourists from Inchon, said immigration commissioner Andrea Domingo.

Local tour operators had earlier complained that some 30 South Korean-owned travel agencies were operating in Manila without permits and accreditation from the foreign office, she said.

The immigration bureau has announced that the South Koreans would be deported soon. --AFP
