Defining the News
Senator Sherwin Gatchalian is seeking a probe on the proliferation of fake birth certificates and other government IDs being sold at P300,000 each.
“Syndicates may be behind the proliferation of fake birth certificates as well as the apparent abuse of the late birth registration system,” said Gatchalian, who filed Senate Resolution 1053 seeking an investigation on the illegal practice. He said the racket was discovered after a Chinese national attempted to apply for a Philippine passport, but could not speak Tagalog when he was interviewed by Department of Foreign Affairs personnel.
He is reportedly one of the 200 Chinese nationals who acquired falsified birth certificates from Davao del Sur.
