COTABATO CITY—Police authorities in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) disqualified on Friday four applicants who submitted fake results of a coronavirus test. ADVERTISEMENTAlready, two of those who faked RT-PCR test results were charged along with the four police applicants before the Maguindanao prosecutor’s office, for falsifying public documents. Ugale emphasized that honesty is paramount for those joining the ranks of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and any applicant found to be dishonest will be rejected outright. Ugale said that based on a CIDG investigation, 66 police applicants submitted “questionable” RT-PCR results. Upon verification and validation, four were proven to be fake and spurious, and those in possession of these were not swabbed, only given RT-PCR test results by the two persons.
