The witness, who serves as a timekeeper at the collapsed building site, confronted the suspect at the Incident Command Post after recognizing him and questioning his false claim. The confrontation caused a disturbance in the area, especially among the families of unrecovered victims who were still awaiting updates regarding their loved ones. Upon learning about the alleged fraudulent act, several relatives of the victims became enraged.

To pacify the situation and maintain order, personnel of Police Station 4 immediately intervened and invited both the suspect and the witness to the police station for proper investigation.

Considering that there had already been prior incidents involving fraudulent claims related to the collapsed building tragedy, the suspect was asked to present an identification card to verify his identity. However, upon presentation and verification of his driver’s license, responding personnel discovered that the said document appeared to be falsified.

Appropriate charges for Violation of Article 172 of the Revised Penal Code are being prepared against the suspect.
