Four tourists were discovered fabricating Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests and QR codes at Tabon Port in Caticlan, putting an end to their ostensibly blissful bonding on the beautiful island of Boracay.

The QR code is received once a tourist gets a negative RT-PCR test within 72 hours of departure, has a hotel reservation, a government ID, and has registered with the S-PaSS (Safe, Swift, and Smart Passage) online travel system.
The four are believed to be from the National Capital Region (NCR), and are currently in Kalibo for a swab test. The Malay Municipal Police Station (MPS) or the Department of Transportation (DOT) can file a complaint against them, according to Ibaretta.
