MEMORANDUM

Jose Carlos Najarro Ng, a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”), and cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir.2006), and we review de novo constitutional claims, Vasquez-Zava-la v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 1105, 1107 (9th Cir.2003). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s finding that Ng failed to establish the threats his mother received in the Philippines amounted to past persecution. See Lim v. INS, 224 F.3d 929, 936 (9th Cir.2000) (threats alone only constitute past persecution when they are so menacing as to cause actual suffering or harm). Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s conclusion that Ng did not demonstrate a well-founded fear of future persecution because he did not show his fear was objectively reasonable.…
