A FORMER senator on Sunday said serious risks to the country’s institutions and security, notably the prostituted segments of the Philippine official documents system, that in turn can allow aliens or criminal syndicates to control key positions through elections were exposed in the Alice Guo Pogo case.
He meant getting a fake Filipino birth certificate through a sham process of “late birth registration,” and then setting up businesses while laundering money for wanted criminal figures from other countries, and eventually seeking and winning elections as a pseudo Filipino. He conceded that it has become easy to pull off documents fraud because many locals are easy to corrupt. “That’s another major concern. It exposed the weakness or vulnerabilities of our agencies tasked to. safeguard the integrity of records,” he added.
Lacson, a retired four-star general and former chief of the National Police before getting elected senator, had championed the bill mandating a National ID system, so his disappointment was palpable.
