Two members of the so-called “BGC Boys” or Bulacan Group of Contractors were charged by the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) for allegedly using fake driver’s licenses to enter a casino.

DOTr Acting Secretary Giovanni Lopez and LTO Chief Vigor Mendoza II filed a complaint for violation of Article 172 of the Revised Penal Code, or falsification of documents, before the Parañaque City Prosecutor’s Office against former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Bulacan First District Engineer Henry Alcantara and assistant district engineer Brice Hernandez.

“Ang inahin po nating kaso ay ang paglabag ng Article 172 of the Revised Penal Code, ang pagkamit ng use of falsified documents,” Lopez said.

“Kung maaalala nyo po sa pandinig sa Senado, bagamat may sinabi sila Henry Alcantara na yung yung lisensya ay binigay lamang ng OKADA, hindi naman po nila tinatanggo na ginamit nila ang lisensya na yun at yan po ay isang krimen,” he added.

Lopez also said that persons releasing falsified documents will also face charges, who are now under investigation.

Six years imprisonment and fine of P1 million will be imposed to Alcantara and Hernandez if proven guilty.

Authorities added that other members of the “BGC Boys” are also being investigated and are expected to face similar charges in the coming days.
