gmanetwork.com - A Canadian actor’s encounter with a corrupt airport Customs official could have happened in the Philippines, which is why some Manila-based news sites wrote gleefully about his story as told to US ‘Late Show’ television host David Letterman.
But it didn’t happen in the Philippines but in Indonesia.
Letterman mentioned the Philippines in passing during an interview with film and television actor Taylor Kitsch, who told Letterman about the airport Customs official who gave him a hard time and gave strong hints that an iPhone would make entry into the country easier.
Kitsch did not correct Letterman’s mistaken identification of the Philippines as the country where he worked on the movie, Savages.
A quick probe by Customs Commissioner Ruffy Biazon revealed that Kitsch actually went to Indonesia.
Besides, a movie directed by Oliver Stone and which also stars John Travolta would have excited local fans at least as much as The Bourne Legacy, which just finished shooting in the Philippines. There had been no previous news about Savages being shot in the Philippines, so Letterman’s claim should have raised media eyebrows.
But the Late Show video of the episode is on YouTube where the recording’s caption says Kitsch “runs into some trouble on his way to work in the Philippines.”
The YouTube video has been viewed at least 4,432 times and was referred to in some media reports.
In the video, Kitsch narrated how a ‘Customs’ official almost did not let him through.
In his blog, Biazon went into considerable detail on the inquiries he made.
“It is with seriousness that I take into account the story related by Canadian actor Taylor Kitsch in an interview in the Late Show with David Letterman. As soon as it came to my attention, I immediately conducted an inquiry into his allegation,” Biazon narrated.
He explained that his concern “stems from the fact that such an allegation not only puts the Bureau of Customs (which I head) in a bad light but the country as well. For the past five months, I have been trying to reverse the negative image of the BOC, so incidents like this undermine those efforts.”
Biazon did some sleuthing. Checks with his own subordinates and with officials at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and the Bureau of Immigration yielded conclusive findings that Kitsch did not enter the Philippines.
“Looking further into the story of Mr. Kitsch, I inquired with our NAIA Customs Office for records of Mr. Kitsch’s declaration form, just to be sure. If he had submitted a declaration form, then I would have reviewed the CCTV footage of his arrival, to verify his story and determine the personnel involved. But there was no declaration submitted,” the customs chief said.
“I coordinated with the Bureau of Immigration to check their records for the entry of Mr. Kitsch. After a thorough search, Immigration did not find an arrival entry for Mr. Kitsch,” Biazon added.
He even “checked with US authorities” and in the process found out that the actor’s full name is Taylor Wade Kitsch, was born April 8, 1981 and is Canadian.

Of course, because if he said Indonesia or any other Asian country, he would be dead meat whereas by saying Philippines absolutely nothing will happen to him as Filipinos are so scared to fight against caucasians as fighting needs the world’s oldest most effective weapon, Human Brains, which filipinos absolutely lack. Also they worship caucasians as gods to the extent of going down so low as to lick the caucasian anus after defecation. Another thing, whether that white guy is American or Canadian, Filipinos are scared to even just displease him for fear the U.S. or Canada will no longer accept them Filipinos as immigrants which to Filipinos is tantamount to the end of the world.
Really tamujin? You read porn magazines? Filipinos are migrating back to the philippines, Koreans are getting permit to leave here…….CHinese nationals paying huge amount of money to be able to overstay in Manila…….of course they manufacture marijuana and heroin here……..america , your Nirvana……go rut with them. China, claiming Palawan Islands…..no sir! Am a Filipino !
Timujin King, you need to take your medicines, your sick mind is going so insane you can’t even think straight. All the insults your hurling at the Philippines actually happen and apply to your beloved nation, Indonesia. Don’t be such a hypocrite Timujin King. And I do have Indonesian friends here in the US by the way and they’re not even proud of their native country! I wonder why. One of them hapens to be a daughter of a high-ranking Indonesian military officer who PAID CASH to her daughter’s condo here in Southern California. Hhhhmmm….wonder how much the military officers in Indonesia earn. Quit being a hypocrite and admit that your country is not perfect and also mired with corruptions and graft and morons like you!
There you go again Filipinos. You get ballistic and emotional when foreigners mention the embarrassing oddities of your race instead of addressing it objectively and constructively. All other non-whites on this planet are so HURT and UPSET with you as you are pulling down the prestige of the world’s non-white race because of your excitedly voluntary slavish attitude toward caucasians. Black Africans call you the Embarrassment of the world’s non-white race; Asians call you the Embarrassment of the Asian race. You can at least deny or be men enough to admit your strange behavior. Have you heard of any other race being trampled upon by whites right in their own native land? In your case, not just the ordinary filipino on the street but no less than the Vice-President, the SECOND HIGHEST RANKING OFFICIAL of the Land by nobody but a mere LOWLIFE FEMALE CAUCASIAN in Clinton’s entourage and with total impunity, a behavior which makes whites tremble in their boots just to IMAGINE committing in other non-white countries. And if he was screamed at out of the room, that means he was not an invited guest. So why was he there? Because of the Filipinos’ common congenital incurable disease, considering it a status symbol to be seen in public hanging around whites. If Clinton held that event in any other non-white country, he would have practically begged on bended knees for the locals to attend as the latter having PRIDE would have stayed aloft for fear of being branded “O2 O2″. A caucasian criminal suspect in the killing of Nida Blanca demanded an audience and succeeded, with the country’s highest ranking Law Enforcement Officer, the Minister of the Interior who he FOOLED with a sob story that he needed to go home to be with his sick mother, and who cried with him (Heaven’s Sake) and innocently swallowed his bluff to come back to face Philippine justice. He never did and laughingly. The country’s highest law-enforcement officer treating a foreigner, not just a foreigner but a lowlife foreigner and a criminal suspect at that, as a VIP, all because he was caucasian. Ask your so-called OFWs whether that’s how foreigner criminal suspects are treated in foreign countries. And if a Filipino has a caucasian enemy, the Philippines is the most dangerous place for him as authorities and the entire citizenry side with the caucasian. A Filipino is harassed by a caucasian and no cop comes to his/her rescue. The moment the Filipino victim fights back in frustration, here come the Philippine Police and the entire justice system gung ho on killing their own compatriot victim considering it a great honor to be the caucasian abuser’s defender. Any citizen on this planet complains a foreigner mistreated him and everyone in their race say the same thing even if they didn’t witness the offense. Let a Filipino say the same thing and the entire Filipino race asks skeptically, “Is that really true?”, when the alleged offender is caucasian. Where is the Phil Navy Man in Zamboanga who killed a white canadian who insulted him without provocation? Languishing in Phil jail, right? Can any of you insult even with provocation a military man or policeman in any foreign countries and if you do, will you survive and the killer soldier or policeman end up in their jail? And in the 80′s whenever Spaniards encountered a Filipino victim of their abuse who fought back and whose identity they didn’t know, where did they go to search for their Filipino victims’ identity? The Philippine Embassy in Madrid! where 2 Filipino female staff who said they were degree holders but still lacked nationalism, dropped on the Spaniards’lap, a big box containing the green file cards where the personal data of all Filipinos in Spain were written that the Spaniards got not only the personal information of their enemies but also of innocent Filipinos. Can you do that in any foreign embassies in Manila when you have an enemy who is their citizen? You may, but your own police will collar you like an animal, ordered to do so by the caucasian embassy staff and slavishly comply. Right? You’ve got no PRIDE at all be it Racial, National or even just Personal, to demand respect from whites at least in your own territory. That makes you absolutely pathetic, yet you keep denying you’ve got the world’s lowest IQ. You’re the only race who love to drumbeat that you are “HOSPITABEL ATHNO oppering a “VEHIKEL ATHNO to tourists coming ATHNO proom de United EStates to AHWARR KAWONTRI por a conven-SHAWN ATHNO at dis TAYEM ATHNO, HOOOOO NAMMAAAANNNN”, and yet having tremendous problems attracting foreign investments and tourists while counties abusive to any foreigners, tourists or otherwise like France, Spain or Italy, are constantly swamped with tourists double in number to their population, and foreign investments, sometimes they even need to close their country to it. You’re absolutely hopeless KING KONGs. May the good Lord pity on you, my dear “Down troddens of the world”.
@Timujin, go here in the Philippines so that the people here will greet you with a Jungle Bolo. HOW DARE YOU? Have you heard what did the Philippines do when Daniel Smith, an American did to a Filipina? He was put in jailed for raping an innocent minor girl and you say we are scared with Americans and Canadians. FOR YOUR INFORMATION, we do not worship those Whites. Are you mentally retarded or what?
