Jamaine Punzalan

L-R: Philippine National Police–Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) acting director Brig. Gen. Bernard Yang, Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Vince Dizon, and Land Transportation Office (LTO) chief Asec. Vigor Mendoza II holds a press conference at Primex Tower in San Juan City on May 22, 2024, as they present a suspect arrested for selling fake driver’s licenses online. The suspect operates a social media page that offers fraudulent licenses without requiring applicants to undergo proper procedures. Secretary Dizon says this marks just one of many arrests under the government’s ongoing crackdown on fixers, scammers, and cybercriminals as part of its intensified road safety and digital security campaign. The officials reiterate their commitment to protecting the public through stronger inter-agency coordination and enforcement. Maria Tan, ABS-CBN News
