00:00 PNP and AFP confirmed that their support is solid to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
00:07 This was after it spread on social media that the President is resigning from the leaders of the police and soldiers.
00:14 In the center of the news, Patrick de Jesus, live.
00:18 Yes, Audrey, the Philippine National Police is warning the public
00:27 to share information online.
00:31 In the middle of this, it was also spreading on social media that the PNP chief,
00:38 Police General Benjamin Acorda Jr. and AFP Chief of Staff, General Romeo Browner Jr.,
00:44 convinced President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to resign.
00:48 PNP appealed not to spread small pieces of information
00:53 where it is also looking for people behind it and can file various cases
00:59 including violating the Anti-Cybercrime Law.
01:03 On the issue of the destabilization,
01:06 as of now, we have not monitored anything like this,
01:10 but we are still monitoring and validating information
01:16 in close coordination with the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
01:20 We respect the views of our fellow countrymen,
01:25 including the retired members of the Philippine National Police and Armed Forces of the Philippines,
01:31 like the ordinary citizen.
01:33 They have the right to speak and we respect that.
01:37 But we ask that they do not include your country's police.

01:50 PNP assured the public that they remained apolitical and professional
01:57 as an organization that follows the Constitution.
02:02 Our country loves your country's police.
02:06 We will always uphold the Constitution
02:09 and obey legal orders of the duly constituted authorities.
02:13 [Music]
02:17 PNP also ordered cyber patrolling to avoid spreading fake news.
02:27 PNP gave instructions to our Anti-Cybercrime Group
02:32 to investigate this and identify the group or person behind this.
02:36 Once identified, appropriate charges shall be filed.
02:41 We have several initial findings.
02:45 We have seen in open sources where this false and unverified information came from.
02:54 [Music]
02:59 In another statement, AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Browner Jr. said
03:04 that they remain true to the Constitution in their duties.
03:09 Browner added that AFP is one of the parties fighting for national security
03:16 under the leadership of the President who is also the Commander-in-Chief.
03:23 Audrey, this is not the first time that there has been a destabilization issue
03:29 but PNP and AFP have already denied these allegations.
03:36 Audrey.
03:37 Okay, Patrick. This is not just fake news.
03:41 If this is what the public believes,
03:44 the stability of our government, our economy, and our security is at stake.
03:50 Now, is it more difficult to face the people behind this if they are caught?
03:58 [Music]
04:04 Yes, Audrey. The law has already imposed the penalties against those spreading false information online
04:13 because the Anti-Cybercrime Law was already enforced back then.
04:18 And now, Audrey, the people behind this are looking for those spreading such information.
04:26 That's why PNP was called to not spread such false information anymore.
04:38 Thank you very much, Patrick De Jesus.
