The complaint under oath, the bureau said, should contain the following:

The bureau said that the act of fixing is punishable by imprisonment not exceeding six years or a fine of not more than P200,000, or by imprisonment and the fine depending on the court’s discretion, pursuant to the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007.
“The public is advised that the (bureau) condemns any and all acts of fixing..,” it said.
