📷: BINOC Acting Chief Mario Francis Evangelista
The Bureau of Immigration National Operations Center (BINOC), a discreet yet vital office under the Office of the Commissioner, has quietly reasserted its role as the Bureau’s central hub for surveillance and integrity monitoring.
Operating behind the scenes, BINOC remotely oversees immigration operations nationwide through a network of CCTV surveillance systems installed across BI offices.
Often referred to as the “eyes of the Commissioner,” the center ensures that immigration personnel perform their duties in strict accordance with legal and ethical standards.
Under the renewed leadership of Acting Chief Mr. Mario Francis Evangelista, BINOC has significantly ramped up its monitoring efforts.
In recent months, the office has transmitted a series of detailed reports to the Office of the Commissioner, documenting violations and infractions committed by immigration personnel.
These reports, based on real-time surveillance footage, have already prompted internal reviews and disciplinary actions in several regional offices.
While BINOC may not command headlines or public fanfare, its quiet resurgence is a testament to the power of institutional integrity, and the value of watching, even when no one is watching back. (RRN)
