According to the BI, the individuals have been included in its database for close monitoring of their travel movements.

Immigration officers at airports and ports of exit have been directed to coordinate with and immediately notify relevant government agencies should any of the listed individuals be encountered.

The bureau also said that based on its records, none of the individuals covered by the Ilbo have any recent outbound travel history.

The lookout order is part of the continuing investigation on the deaths of Ateneo basketball players Rene Baterbonia and Divine Adili in Aurora, which has drawn heightened scrutiny from authorities in recent weeks. (RJL)
