MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on Friday confirmed that the passport of Joseph Lim Pe has been tampered.
“As to the allegations that former Palawan Governor Joel Reyes used the passport of Mr. Lim Pe we are still investigating on that issue, but initial investigation results showed that there was tampering in the passport of Mr. Lim Pe,” Raul Hernandez, DFA spokesperson said in an interview with reporters.
“Basically the passport of Mr. Pe has been altered so other person can use it …The data page including the photo part of it was tampered,” Hernandez added.
It has been reported that former Palawan Governor Joel Reyes, tagged in the killing of journalist Gerry Ortega, sneaked out of the country last March 18 on Cebu Pacific Flight 5J751 bound for Vietnam. He allegedly used a passport with the name Joseph Lim Pe. The passport was issued only last February 3, 2012.
Hernandez also said that both passports of Pe and Reyes have been canceled by the agency and that they have alerted foreign posts and authorities of countries on the incident.
Hernandez said that they issued Pe an e-passport but that there was no e-passport issued to Reyes.
