ILOILO City – The Police Regional Office 6 (PRO-6) is reminding the public to be cautious over the circulation of fake money this campaign season.
PRO-6 director Brigadier General John Bulalacao said some candidates would use fake money for vote buying.
“Vote buying and using fake money are both violations of law. The police are ready to arrest anyone who commits such violations,” stressed Bulalacao.
The PRO-6 chief said Western Visayas has a “history” of fake money circulation during election period. But he added that PRO-6 is striving to ensure the conduct of “fair elections.”
They are working with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas to closely monitor fake money syndicates, said Bulalacao.
He also appealed to the public to report individuals or groups engaged in this illegal operation./PN
