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 ..

hahaha...the logic was that "a tie signifies a higher position and if one wears a tie, he must be a gentleman and an executive officer, so PH welcomes them; on the same logic, if someone who does not wear a tie, he must be of lower position or just a coolie, so PH does not welcome them" So, by asking them to undo a tie and tie it back will prove that one actually knows how to do a tie or not, if not.....then someone must have adorned him with a tie to "elevate his so-called higher position status"....hahahaha"
This perception of tie-wearing is a legacy of those colonials. Many times we read in the papers: "Well dressed robber with collar and tie and suit, walked into a jewelry shop and robbed it" ....so, "well dressed" = "wearing tie" = good man ......maybe I will start wearing a tie when bonking Filipinos to escape arrest
