from www.abs-cbnnews.com – The Bureau of Immigration (BI) confirms the arrival of a fugitive Japanese actress-stripper Minako Komukai in Manila, Philippines last January 21.

Immigration records show that Komukai, 25, arrived on a Delta Airlines (DL173) flight from Tokyo.

She listed Glorietta 4, Ayala Centre, Makati as her address in the country.

Under Philippine law, Komukai can stay 21 days in the country as a tourist.

According to sources, Komukai filed for an extension on her visa last February 18.

Bureau of Immigration Officer-in-Charge Rolando Mendoza said that Komukai can legally stay in the Philippines until March 21 because the Japanese Embassy hasn’t ordered any deportation.

Mendoza said that Komukai is a legal alien and as long as she doesn’t do anything illegal in the country, she is welcome to stay.

In a document that ABS-CBN News acquired, the Embassy of Japan wrote a letter to the Bureau of Immigration requesting for a copy of Komukai’s arrival card, but they clarified in the letter that they did not make any official request for Komukai’s deportation.

The letter was signed by Japanese Embassy Consul Kenichi Horii.

Tokyo Metropolitan Police issued a warrant for Komukai’s arrest last week.

This indictment came after Japanese police arrested a gang of Iranian and Japanese drug dealers last year and Komukai’s name surfaced in the list of customers.

This isn’t Komukai’s first run-in with the law.

In 2009, Komukai was arrested for amphetamine possession. She was given an 18-month prison term but it was suspended for three years.

According to Japanese news reports, Komukai last worked as a stripper and appeared in an S&M bondage film in her home country.
