Two OFWs arrested for using fake documents

Two overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) were apprehended by authorities for attempting to leave the country using fraudulent documents.

The OFWs were intercepted by operatives from the Bureau of Immigration and National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) at the airport.

One of the arrested individuals presented a falsified overseas employment certificate and an RT-PCR test result.

The NBI is investigating to identify and apprehend those who provided the fake documents.

The second OFW attempted to travel using her sibling's passport because she was underage for her intended destination, Saudi Arabia.

She reportedly used her sister's birth certificate to obtain the passport, as the minimum age requirement for travel to Saudi Arabia is 23.

Both individuals will face charges related to the illegal use of falsified documents and violations of the Philippine Passport Act.
