A tourist from the United States was deported from the Philippines and banned from returning after he wrote profanity on immigration forms and acted “rude,” according to immigration officials.

The 34-year-old American arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport near Manila on a Nov. 7 flight from Bangkok, Thailand, the Philippines Bureau of Immigration said in a Nov. 8 news release.

At immigration, officers reminded the tourist to fill out the required paperwork, officials said. In response, officers said he “showed disdain” and filled out the form with a fake address, incomplete name and profanity.

The 34-year-old also “tossed his passport and his mobile phone angrily to the immigration officer,” officials said.
