Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, August 8) — James Reid’s business partner and Careless CEO Jeffrey Oh has been arrested and is facing deportation, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) confirmed on Tuesday.
BI spokesperson Dana Sandoval verified to media that a July 29 press release about the arrest of an American businessman for allegedly working in the country without a permit was pertaining to Jeffrey Oh.
“Agents arrested the 34-year-old American in Poblacion, Makati after reportedly engaging in gainful employment without the necessary work permit, in violation of Philippine immigration laws,” the BI press release read.
