It is the first official document that every Filipino receives as their birthright, establishing their official tie to the nation,” said Davao Oriental Rep. Cheeno Miguel Almario., the Filipinos are not for sale.
Lanao del Sur Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong, for his part, said he would like to know if these Chinese nationals had a backer that emboldened them to “make a mockery of the sanctity of the country’s birth certificate,” calling it an “affront to our national security and sovereignty.” “The ramifications of such actions are far-reaching and could compromise our national defense, economy and public safety,” Ortega said.
