The supervisor upon evaluation decided that he not be given a balikbayan status,&quot; ani Grifton Medina, hepe ng Port Operations Division ng BI.</p><p>Base sa Republic Act 6768 o Expanded Balikbayan Program, ibinibigay ang balikbayan status sa mga dating Pilipino at isa itong pribilehiyo na makapamalagi sa Pilipinas nang isang taon. Maaaring i-extend ang pribilehiyo hanggang sa mga anak o asawa.</p><p>Si Labrusca ay isang US citizen na may American passport at ang kaniyang ina ay isang Fil-Am.</p><p>Ang kaso, hindi kasama ni Labrusca ang ina nang lumapag sa bansa kaya hindi siya nabigyan ng balikbayan visa, ayon sa BI.</p><p>&quot;The American passenger was travelling alone and he was not with his Filipina mother, that is why previously he was mentioning na nabigyan siya ng balikbayan status.&quot;</p><div><strong>&#x27;PATAWAD&#x27;</strong></div><p>Sa kaniyang Twitter account, humingi ng paumanhin si Labrusca sa Immigration officer na nakausap niya.</p><p>&quot;I want to extend my sincerest apology to the superior immigration officer (IO) who was on duty and I had a talk with yesterday morning, 03 Jan 2019... I admit I was a bit frustrated and that I asked why I was only given 30 days to stay in the country this time,&quot; aniya.</p><p>Hindi rin umano niya alam ang polisiya sa pagbibigay ng balikbayan stamp.</p><p>Idiniin niyang wala siyang tinawag na tanga at hindi rin niya pinagmayabang ang kaniyang pagiging celebrity.</p><p>&quot;I&#x27;m sorry that I somehow took my frustrations out on the officer. But never did I call anyone stupid nor idiot, much less brag about being a celebrity. I know for a fact that the officer is merely doing her job,&quot; paliwanag ni Labrusca.</p><div><strong>—Ulat ni MJ Felipe, ABS-CBN News</strong></div>
