HPG starts hunt vs fake ‘8’ plate producers
The PNP-Highway Patrol Group (HPG) is investigating the alleged production of fake "8" protocol license plates, which could be used to falsely claim association with the House of Representatives.
This investigation was prompted after House Secretary General Reginald Velasco noted that the "8" plate on an SUV involved in a viral road rage incident appeared to be fake.
Velasco condemned the misuse of the special plate, stating that using a counterfeit protocol plate is illegal and punishable by law.
PNP-HPG spokesperson Police Lieutenant Nadame Malang confirmed that intelligence officers are actively verifying the existence of such fake plates and that further details will be released upon completion of the investigation.
The use of fake official markings is considered a serious offense that compromises the integrity of government symbols and public confidence.
