The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has confirmed that it has received an Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order (ILBO) issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ) against several individuals linked to the Ateneo men’s basketball program. This action is part of the ongoing investigation into the deaths of two players in Aurora.
Individuals Named in the Lookout Order
Named in the ILBO are Thomas Anthony “Tab” Baldwin, former head coach of the Ateneo men’s basketball team; Christopher Quimpo, former team manager; and assistant coaches Reynaldo Jacinto Jr., Dean Castaño, and Sandro Soriano.
Monitoring and Coordination
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.
Background of the Investigation
The lookout order is part of the continuing investigation into the deaths of Ateneo basketball players Rene Baterbonia and Divine Adili in Aurora. The case has drawn heightened scrutiny from authorities in recent weeks, prompting the DOJ to issue the ILBO to ensure that those involved remain within the country for questioning.
