HK officials allow Pinay to live with jobless Chinese husband

Authorities have allowed a Filipina entry to Hong Kong to live with her jobless Chinese husband. Hong Kong immigration officials earlier denied entry to the Filipina, Elvira Fung, saying her husband Fung Chi-man was jobless and could not support her. Fung had been living on social assistance, according to a report on Radio-Television Hong Kong. However, Fung filed a judicial review against the immigration department. He argued that the refusal was discriminatory and the reason given by the immigration department did not apply to family reunifications involving mainland brides. Fung eventually withdrew the judicial review after the immigration department agreed to grant his wife Elvira residency. - JE/VVP, GMA News
