42-year-old Steven Daniel Griswold was about to board a Cebu Pacific Airways plane bound for Tokyo, Japan when Immigration officers at Clark, alerted that the American was on the watchlist of wanted foreigners, arrested him.
Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco said Griswold has cases in America involving child sexual abuse and receiving child pornography.
The US District Court in Oregon has issued a warrant of arrest against Griswold.
Griswold has been placed on the immigration blacklist so that he cannot return to the Philippines once deported back to America.
"He will be perpetually banned from entering the country as foreign pedophiles like him do not deserve the privilege to stay here even for a second. They should be kicked out because they pose a serious threat to our children, any one of whom could be his next victim," Tansingco said.
