MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Malaca\u00f1ang warned Thursday that criminal charges would be lodged against people faking their identities to get identification cards (IDs) issued by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious disease (IATF-EID).<\/p>\n

\u201cAng parusa po<\/em>, well,\u00a0pwede pong<\/em>\u00a0falsification\u00a0iyan<\/em>\u00a0(They might face criminal case for falsification of public documents),\u201d Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a virtual presser aired on state-run PTV-4.<\/p>\n

He issued the statement, following reports that some individuals are pretending to be media practitioners to get IATF ID.<\/p>\n

Roque said it should be clear that media practitioners are those who are raising public awareness about current events.<\/p>\n

\u201cBasta sila po<\/em>\u00a0(As long as) they impart information regularly to the public, whether or not they are paid, then they should be considered journalists,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The IATF-EID earlier issued IDs to front-liners who are allowed to leave their homes amid the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine (ECQ).<\/p>\n

The ECQ was imposed in the entire Luzon to combat coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), which has already infected 6,981 persons in the country.<\/p>\n

Exempted from work stoppage during ECQ period are health workers, soldiers, policemen, media practitioners, and other persons rendering basic services.<\/p>\n

However, some people are taking advantage of the Covid-19 crisis by selling fake quarantine passes.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Roque said President Rodrigo Duterte already ordered the immediate arrest of those behind the sale of fake IDs that purportedly serve as quarantine pass amid Luzon-wide ECQ.<\/p>\n

Under Republic Act 11469 or the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act, people who commit unlawful acts during ECQ period will face one-year imprisonment or a fine of PHP10,000 up to PHP1 million, or both.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
