An unemployed Filipino was jailed for six months Tuesday after pleading guilty in Kowloon City Court to having in his custody five fake $100 bills.
Acting Principal Magistrate Ko Wai-hung handed the sentence after
Ray Onate Jr., 35 years old, with no fixed address, admitted violating
section 100(2) of the Crimes Ordinance which makes the offense punishable by up
to three years in jail.
