How the term came about is like this..... when the BI receive the faxed copy of the manifesto of the arriving flight passengers..... they cross check with their list of offenders on the computer.... when a name comes up as a hit..... it is tagged and pasted onto a Johnny Walker Black Label bottle and sent to the immigration room near the immigration counters. When the wanted man presents his passport to the immigration officer.... he will be instructed to "collect" his bottle of black label at the room. Once the guy confirms it is his name on the bottle..... he is detained and referred to the relevant authority that issued the instruction to blacklist him.

I heard of weird stuff on how BI operates .. this takes the cake though ..
Another funny thing they did to catch some illegals, who were transitting through Manila, no, I didn't make this up
A group of Indians were transitting in Manila, and the BI team had been told they are being trafficked (I wonder what is the problem of PH Immigration if a person wants to get trafficked anyway .. ) .. so, while these fellows were in the transit at NAIA, the BI officers had approached them, and asked them to remove their ties and knot it back. All failed to knot their tie, and they were held and deported back to India as being Imposters ..
Don't ask me what is the logic there ..
