Whereas, on 16 November 2004, the then Commissioner Alipio F. Fernandez issued Memorandum Order No. AFF-04-023 on Collection of Fees for Petitions for Deportation (Annex œA ^* ) pursuant to the revised schedule of immigration fees approved by the Department of Justice on 01 October 1999 (Annex œB ^* ).

Whereas, the said Memorandum Order was issued to maximize revenue generating efforts and to deter private individuals from filing deportation complaints that are substantively trivial, frivolous and vexatious or initiated in evident bad faith.

Whereas, upon review, it appears that the said Memorandum was not implemented.

Now, therefore, the Bureau shall implement Memorandum Order No. AFF-04-023 on Collection of Fees for Petitions for Deportation after fifteen (15) days from publication.

(SGD.) RICARDO A. DAVID, JR.
Commissioner

Approved:

(SGD.) LEILA M. DE LIMA
Secretary
