More fake P500, P1000 bills as Christmas nears

BEWARE OF FAKES. A reader who owns sari-sari stores told The Ear that the public should be aware of the proliferation of fake P500 and P1000 bills. She said she gets these fake bills more often as Christmas season draws near. She said, “Nagkaduol ang Pasko, nagkadaghan usab ang mga peke nga five hundred ug one thousand-peso bills.
