ENSURE THE EFFECTIVE COORDINATION AMONG CONCERNED AGENCIES IN THE

IRREGULARITIES
WHEREAS,

the integrity of this valuable document as embodied in the Philippine

WHEREAS, there is an increasing number of passport irregularities and
fraud cases conducted through the methodical manipulation and
circumvention of the Philippine passporting system;

by foreign nationals have increased;

terrorists and other criminal elements;

Philippine Government abroad, ultimately leading to a decrease in
global credibility and prestige for the country;

Inter-Agency Committee Against Passport Irregularities to constitute an
operating arm to actively pursue the investigation, prosecution and
disposition of cases involving passport irregularities and to
