This machine can produce fake diplomas, birth certificates, transcript of records, driver’s license, firearm license and NBI clearance, among other vital documen.
This machine, as well as hundreds of others, were the reason OFWs have to queue at various agencies to get original documents and have them stamped for red ribbon at the Department of Foreign Affairs.
The machine was seized in a simultaneous raid was conducted today along the infamous Recto Ave. in Manila by operatives of the Manila Police District.
Heavily armed police in bullet proof vests, swooped down Recto Ave., rounded up 50 people and shut down 30 stalls.
The Manila Public Information Office (MPIO) tweeted that the police raid was done upon orders of Manila Mayor Franciso “Isko Moreno” Domagoso.

Last Monday, Domagoso was piqued upon learning that even Manila city hall’s official receipts and senior citizen ID’s were found to have been forged along Recto Ave.
“Tumigil kayo dyan sa Recto sa kaka-imprenta ng resibo ng Lungsod ng Maynila [Those in Recto should stop printing fake Manila government receipts],” he said during Monday’s flag ceremony, “Hindi na kayo natuwa na peke-en n’yo ang senior citizen ID [identification card]. ‘Di na kayo natuwa na peke-en nyo ang PWD [persons with disability] ID? [Have you no shame to forge senior citizen and PWD IDs?]”
“Pakatandaan ninyo. Uubusin ko kayo dyan [Remember that I will rid you all],” he added.
