PNP Chief General Dionardo Carlos said that those caught violating such rules of our government will face heavier penalties, including imprisonment.
The general made the statement following reports that there were individuals presenting fake vaccination cards at checkpoints.
Carlos stressed what our countrymen are doing is a clear violation of Republic Act 11332 or the Mandatory Reporting of Notifiable Diseases Law.
Therefore, if there is falsification, tampering, or use of the vaccination card, they will be fined P20,000 to P50,000 or imprisoned for one to six months.
First of all, based on the post by Cotabato City Mayor Cynthia Guiani of two photos of confiscated vaccination cards presented by two people at border checkpoints.
The authorities immediately suspected that the vaccine card was because the gap between the first and second twelve was only 10 days.
