| The Filipina got off lightly after pleading guilty at Shatin court to overstaying |
A Filipina who surrendered after overstaying her visa for more than six months walked free from Shatin Court on Monday, after the magistrate sentenced her to 12 days imprisonment, suspended for one year.
Lorena Mangusib, 40 years old, faced one count of violating her visa conditions when she appeared in court.

She should have left
Hong Kong at the end of March this year, 14 days after her contract was
terminated by her employer.
However, she chose to
stay until October 2, when she decided to surrender to Immigration.
Appearing before Acting Principal Magistrate Cheang Kei-hong, Mangusib pleaded guilty, and got off lightly with a suspended sentence.

This means that she will not be jailed as long as she does not commit any offence for the next 12 months.
But having been convicted
of an immigration offense, she would most likely be sent home, and not allowed
to return to Hong Kong to work again.
