MANILA, Philippines — The Bank of the Philippine Islands on Tuesday said it is currently probing the incident involving faceless money allegedly withdrawn from one of its ATMs.

On Christmas day, a Facebook user named Earla Anne Yehey took to social media to complain that she withdrew “faceless” P100 bills allegedly from one of BPI’s ATMs.
