Hello! I'm a student currently taking up masters in Public Management from Ateneo School of Government. I'd like to ask data statistics on the number of illegal aliens who were deported and who were issued charges within their stay here in Philippines. We'll use it for our research reporting in our Governance subject. Thanks.
Warm wishes,
Angel Tolentino
