THE local government of Manaoag issued a warning to residents against a group of individuals allegedly circulating in the barangays offering money in exchange for taking photos of National IDs.

Mayor Jeremy Agerico B. Rosario said several concerned residents reported the modus operandi to his office.

He emphasized that neither the local government nor the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) has any such ongoing program.

The mayor added that the illegal activity could be part of a larger scheme relating to stealing identities by gathering personal information that could be used for malicious purposes, such as fraud.

Rosario strongly advised the public not to share any personal information with unauthorized individuals and to report any suspicious activity immediately. (Ahikam Pasion)
