PAOCC, BI nab Michael Yang brod at NAIA

Joint teams from the Philippine Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) and Bureau of Immigration (BI) apprehended Yang Jianxin, also known as Antonio Lim and Tony Yang. He was collared on the basis of a mission order as an undesirable alien after he arrived on a Cebu Pacific flight from Cagayan de Oro City.

Tony is the elder brother of Michael, also known as Hong Ming Yang.

PAOCC executive director Undersecretary Gilbert Cruz said Tony was carrying a cash of P1.4 million and other foreign currencies.

Tony's Chinese passport was found in his possession, which Cruz said is an indication that he was planning to leave the country.

"Every time he goes out, he brings his Chinese passport. I think he plans to leave," Cruz said in an interview over dzBB.
