NCRPO Raids Office Producing Fake Documents in Sampaloc, Manila
The National Capital Region Police Office raided an office producing fake documents in Sampaloc, Manila.
Fake documents are unauthorized or counterfeit versions of official documents that are illegally created to copy legitimate ones. These can include identification cards, passports, birth certificates, driver’s licenses, academic certificates, and more.
The purpose of fake documents is often to deceive authorities or businesses, allowing individuals to access services, benefits, or opportunities they are not entitled to, such as jobs, travel, or financial services. Producing or using fake documents is illegal and punishable by law in most countries.
Recently, an office involved in producing fake documents, such as identification cards and passports, was recently raided by the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO).
The operation targeted a group responsible for making fake IDs and passports, which were reportedly being provided to both Chinese and Filipino workers employed in Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) in the country.
During the raid, various pieces of evidence were recovered, including fake documents from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), Land Transportation Office (LTO), negative drug test results, and identification cards from different agencies, all of which were confirmed to be counterfeit.
Six individuals were arrested at the scene and are now facing charges of falsifying public documents. The authorities are taking this situation seriously, as the creation and distribution of fake documents pose a threat to the integrity of official records and public safety.
The raid is part of ongoing efforts to crack down on illegal activities related to forgery, which have been on the rise, particularly with the involvement of workers in industries like POGOs.

The case shows the importance of protecting official documentation and ensuring that those responsible for producing and using fake credentials are held accountable. Law enforcement hopes to discourage other similar operations and maintain the trust and security of government-issued documents.
The arrested individuals will undergo further investigation and face the consequences of their actions under the law.
