OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT : Enhanced Security for Mayorβs Permits.
The Lipa City Permits and Licensing Office (LCPLO) is pleased to announce a major enhancement on the security features of all Mayorβs Permits issued by the City Government.
The Mayorβs Permit that we issue now, features a unique embedded QR code, designed to protect the authenticity of the document and to help the public verify its validity.
By simply scanning the QR code with a smartphone, anyone can instantly access essential information about the business, confirming that it holds a current and valid Mayorβs Permit issued by the City.
This initiative strengthens the public confidence in local businesses and helps ensure that establishments operating in the city are legitimate and compliant with the law.
Important Legal Reminder:
Under Article 172 of the Revised Penal Code, any private individual who falsifies an official document, or makes use of a falsified one, shall face the following penalties:
β’ Imprisonment: PrisiΓ³n correccional in its medium and maximum periods (from 2 years, 4 months, and 1 day to 6 years).
β’ Fine: Up to β±1,000,000.00.
β’ Legal Liability: Any person who knowingly uses a falsified document to the damage of a third party will also be held liable.
We urge the public to use this tool and remain vigilant. When you visit or transact with an establishment, check the displayed Mayorβs Permit and scan the QR code to confirm its authenticity. For everyoneβs information, it is mandatory that the original copy (not the photocopy) of the Mayorβs Permit should be displayed by the establishment.
If you suspect that a Mayorβs Permit is counterfeit or tampered with, report it immediately to LCPLO. Your cooperation is vital in safeguarding the integrity of our local business sector and ensuring a safe, fair, and lawful business environment for all.
