A printing shop in Caloocan City reportedly producing fake coronavirus disease (COVID-19) certificates was raided by police Thursday and arrested two women.
Authorities identified the suspects as Angelica Dellola, 20, and Jeshel Mohad, 22, both residents of Quezon City and working at TJ Computer Shop in Barangay 177, Caloocan City.
Police said Timogan discovered the illegal activity when a concerned citizen posted it on social media and went viral. “Tiningnan ko kung ano yung ginagawa ng babae. Nagtatype po sya, so nakita ko unang una, capslock NEGATIVE, tapos binasa ko COVID [The woman at the printing shop first typed the words NEGATIVE, then COVID),” the concerned citizen said in an interview over GMA News. The Facebook user happened to be at the shop to have her photo printed when she witnessed the illegal act.
The suspects were arrested after police handed a P500 bill as buy-bust money to pay for a fake COVID-19 certificate.
