I post a comment previously informing your office about an entertainer his name is ALBERT BONGA about his identity and disguising as a GAY wherein in fact he is not a gay his a real man and had a girl friend name KAREN who is also an entertainer of same place (Tokyo), he post danger in your country and letting you know and believing that he is a GAY is like mocking your country and making you a laughing stock. But I think your office did not made any action about this because since he got a visa and he is now in Tokyo particularly with this address CLUB IMAGINE #4021 Komemachi Banchi, Ryugasaki City, Ibaragi Ken. Also, one of the entertainer at the given address her name is ELEONOR S MALLARI who entered in your country last November 28, 2008 and as you know she is a first timer since she is using her real name right now but believe it or not she is a timer in your country as a talent. As I know she was there first last 2001 and ended her contract sometime in the year 2006 using the name of ELAINE M MACAPAGAL it’s her cousin’s name she‘s fluent in Nihongo and even read Kanji. ELEONOR falsified her documents which she submitted in your Embassy in the Philippines and I believe it is a criminal offense in your country. And as divulge by her friends in the Philippines that she was planning to run away before the end of her stay in your country on May 28, 2009 and to stay with her friends in Japan whom married to Japanese. In addition, not knowing to Immigration Officers and their mama Sang that 3 of 4 of her female talents staying at the 2nd floor of the Club as reported to me by one of their co-talents, that at about 5 am they leave their place meeting with costumers for sex and money and be back at around 9 or 10 o’clock in the morning which is prohibited as I know by Immigration. And sometimes when their Mama Sang and Sacho is not around they use their place as hotel letting their costumers to get in and same having sex for money. Hoping for a favorable action and hope that this information help you. Thank you.

please disregard the given information by this person she only have personal grudge to this group dancers especially to Eleonor Mallari. Although it is true that Albert Bonga is not really a gay he only do that to help his family back in the Philippines.
In addition to my previous comment, if indeed Eleonor Mallari is a timer in your country she maybe did that to support the needs of her for her family. It is impossible for her to run away since they were there as a group and she also think the consequences if she did that. Your other allegations are just a fabrications and has no evidence to prove it unless otherwise the immigration officers personally observe such allegations… Hope Sakura you’ll understand what im saying…
