Authorities at the Port Management Office of Batangas nabbed two (2) individuals at Batangas Port for allegedly providing fake travel documents to passengers in exchange for some cash.

This after six (6) individuals were apprehended for presenting fake RT-PCR results and S-PaSS prior to their travel onboard 2GO vessel bound for Caticlan recently.

The cases were already turned over to Batangas City Police Station.

PPA Port Management Office of Batangas, one of the busiest ports nationwide amid the pandemic, remains committed in its war against fixers, fake travel docs, and other illegal activities to ensure that only those who properly complied with the travel protocols shall be allowed to proceed with their booked trips.

The Port Police force of the Port Management Office of NCR-South, in partnership with the Fraternal Order of Eagles-Grand Seaport Club, recently distributed relief items to the victims of a fire that gutted 500 structures and affected about a thousand families at a residential area in Barangay 650 located within the South Harbor Expanded Port Zone (SHEPZ).

With the threat of COVID-19 continues to hound the entire country, proper physical distancing was enforced to reduce the risk of possible infection during the distribution.

This initiative upholds PPA standards of corporate governance by simply allowing its personnel to become responsible citizens for the port community or whenever the call of duty requires.
