KORONADAL CITY, Dec 10 (PIA) -- Authorities in North Cotabato warned the public of fake peso notes that syndicates have recently circulated in the area. | |||
Police report said, a bank collector in the Kabacan town, North Cotabato was the latest victim when a fake 500-peso bill was found among the bills he remitted to the bank’s cashier. | |||
Although police have yet to establish the exact source of the fake bank note, the collector believes this could have come from a client who may not have known that he or she is using fake bills. | |||
P/SSupt , Joseph Semillano, chief of Kabacan PNP, urged the public to examine very carefully the peso bills they receive especially in public places such as markets and public conveyances where these bank notes do not usually undergo checks for security features. | |||
He also advised them immediately report to the police any bank notes they suspect to be counterfeit. They could also examine the bill for security features. | |||
For example, he said, in a 500-peso bank note, the words “Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas” can be seen via a simple magnifying glass printed on top of the “500” mark on the bottom left corner of the note’s front face. | |||
They may also check for the presence of features that can be immediately seen such as the security thread embedded off center of the bill and watermark of a silhouette of the face on the banknote on the unprinted portion of the note. | |||
Semillano said counterfeit banknotes circulating in Kabacan are of P20, P100, and P500 denominations. (PIA12) | |||
