00:00We will now give the answer to the questions and answers to the law.
00:05Atty. Gabby Concepcion. Good morning, Atty. Gabby.
00:10Good morning to you too, Ivan.
00:12In the recent typhoon, not only the appliances were flooded, but also the documents.
00:18To all those who are planning to get documents and IDs,
00:23I have an advice for you.
00:25Be careful of the crooks.
00:28Because it might be easier for you to get documents and IDs,
00:32you might end up in trouble.
00:35Like this man who was arrested for selling a fake driver's license in Iloilo.
00:42The suspect allocated Php 8,000 to Php 15,000 for the process of his license.
00:48But the victim will end up in trouble.
00:51What does the law say about those who are planning to get it?
00:55Well, ask me, ask Atty. Gabby.
01:56We are telling you again and again not to trust the fixer
02:01because the documents might be fake and you might be the one to answer.
02:06For example, you believe that your license from the fixer is genuine,
02:12but did you know that if you get caught,
02:14the traffic enforcer might not even listen to you,
02:17that you were just fooled by the fixer.
02:19If your license is not in the system,
02:22consider driving without a license immediately
02:25and you might not be able to get a license for two years.
02:28That's a big risk, right?
02:30And if you have a Peking passport and Peking visas,
02:34you might be able to get into the Philippines.
02:36You might be able to get a deportation if you are already in another country.
02:41But you might not be able to get into the Philippines
02:43because the Bureau of Immigration has already bought advanced machines
02:47to detect fake documents.
02:49So it's a waste of the Php 100,000 you spent
02:52to get those Peking documents.
02:55And those who have Peking passports and visas,
02:58and those OF documents,
03:01so that you can get a job abroad.
03:04Maybe it's not just a falsification of the case,
03:07it's also the trafficking of persons who are more likely to be imprisoned.
03:12Attorney, what if I didn't immediately know that
03:15the Peking documents and IDs I got
03:18and I used it for travel or work,
03:20do I have a responsibility?
03:22Actually, it's kind of hard to say that you don't know
03:26or you're not aware
03:28because you probably know that you have Peking documents
03:32or at least, you should know and use it.
03:36Driver's license,
03:38did you apply for LTO?
03:40Passport,
03:41did you apply for DFA?
03:43Birth Certificate,
03:44did you go to the Philippine Statistical Authority?
03:47Because if you directly applied or ordered online,
03:51it's kind of hard for us to believe that you're in good faith
03:55that you don't know or you should know that you have Peking documents.
04:00Under the Philippine National ID Law, for example,
04:02or Republic Act 11055,
04:05mere possession of a fake ID means you have a liability.
04:08Under the Republic Act 8239 or the Philippine Passport Law,
04:12using a fake passport is also a crime.
04:16It's also stated in our law
04:18that if you don't have a good and satisfactory explanation,
04:22a person who is in possession of a forged document
04:26and who used it is presumed to be the forger.
04:29We know that sometimes, we don't want to complain to the government agency
04:33because the process is long and messy.
04:35But this is not a reason to use a fixer and fakers.
04:39There's no good reason for that.
04:41Believe me.
04:43So, I hope you heard what I had to say.
04:46We will clarify the laws we discussed.
04:49You know, for the peace of mind,
04:52don't think twice.
04:54Ask me, ask the Trinidadians.
