PNP-HPG to file charges against groups posing as force multipliers

The Philippine National Police-Highway Patrol Group (PNP-HPG) plans to file charges against groups posing as HPG members across the country.

Lt. Nadame Malang, PNP-HPG spokesperson, announced that they are considering filing cases for usurpation of authority and illegal use of insignia after receiving reports about certain groups claiming to be force multipliers.

A group called 'Highway Patrol Group 4A Force Multiplier Inc.' (FMI) has been collecting fees from members under the pretense of official recognition, despite being suspended by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2010.

The PNP-HPG warned that FMI continues to operate illegally across Regions 2, 4A, 6, and parts of Mindanao, issuing fake IDs and uniforms with HPG insignia.

Malang urged the public to report any suspicious activities involving unauthorized individuals claiming to be HPG members to the nearest HPG office or its official hotline.
