Alleged syndicate behind fake birth certificates scheme in Davao del Sur – NBI

MANILA, Philippines – A regional office of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said a syndicate must be behind the issuance of fake birth certificates in Santa Cruz, Davao del Sur.

“With the number of spurious and falsified documents we have identified for 2018-2019, it is evident this involves a significant syndicate and substantial financial transactions. A fixer, a Chinese national, has been connected to the agency,” NBI Davao Region Director Archie Albao told Newsline Philippines.
