Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we would need you to file a request from the court where the subject case is filed for them to request from the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to issue official document if certain individual has Watchlist Order or derogatory record in the Bureau. Because Derogatory Record consists of personal information and it is protected under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, comprehensive and strict privacy legislation “to protect the fundamental human right of privacy, of communication while ensuring free flow of information to promote innovation and growth.” Thus, the Bureau could not disclose the subject information thru online. It can only be disclosed to the owner of the information, to third party if with Special Power of Attorney of the owner of the Data or with court order.
