00:00This is DICT under Secretary Jeffrey E. Andee. Good afternoon, Usec.
00:04Good afternoon.
00:06Yes, Usec.
00:07Good afternoon to PTV4.
00:09Yes. What can DICT say about the spreading of fake videos and what is the DICT's role in this?
00:16So let's first state the obvious. This is a fake video.
00:22As you can see, the lighting conditions are different when it comes to this part.
00:29It's not consistent, but the rest is a little bit darker.
00:33When you zoom in, it has a lot of inconsistent colors and pixelations.
00:39And DICT has tools to detect if these are fake news.
00:44We can say for certainty that this is really fake.
00:48In fact, we tried putting a different face just to check if it is consistent with our theory that it's fake.
00:57We noticed that Pope Francis' face is very consistent.
01:05This area here was actually just edited and pasted.
01:09We did it only for 10 minutes.
01:11If you want, we can do a demo.
01:15So this is really fake. That's the first part.
01:18The part that you're asking, what we're asking, we are already communicating with Facebook.
01:23Where did this come from?
01:25And they are now reviewing so that they can take down these fake postings.
01:29We already talked to YouTube because there are only a few people on YouTube.
01:32And they're taking it down right now.
01:34We also talked to TikTok about this and we're consistently discussing with them what to do.
01:41And also, we would like to remind everyone that posting this is by itself illegal.
01:51It is punishable by Republic Act 10175 because you're willingly trying to spread false utterances or misleading information already.
02:10So that's what we're doing.
02:13And we need to consult with our law enforcement agencies, NBI, PNP.
02:20We'll provide them all the technical information that we have.
02:23The public should be aware of this.
02:25There are tools online for you to check if this is fake or not.
02:30For example, just search one word, fake image.
02:33Then take the picture that you see in this video and put it there.
02:38It will come out.
02:40You can say that this is edited.
02:42Youssef, you already mentioned the liability of those spreading fake news.
02:47But what is the punishment for the person behind or the one who made this fake video?
02:53Same. So same.
02:56The punishment is the same under Republic Act 10175.
02:59The one who made it and the one who spread it.
03:04Of course, what we need to target is the one who made it.
03:07What happened there.
03:10So it's the same.
03:13Do you remember two months ago, there was also a copy of the President's voice.
03:19He gave an order to the West Philippine Sea and then it turns out fake.
03:23This is very similar to this one.
03:25So in that particular case, they also filed a case regarding that.
03:31Youssef, since we have limited time, what is your message to the public?
03:37There are a lot of fake videos that are being released.
03:42There are media personalities.
03:45For example, Rosario is selling pills or vitamins for men.
03:57So let's be careful around us and let's look at the person behind these spreading videos.
04:07Very scrupulous.
04:10Like I said, although we have more professional tools, but these tools are readily available online.
04:15You can check it using online tools so you can know that this is really fake.
04:21I think this is ordering a destabilization plan because after they saw the video, they're asking for the resignation of the President.
04:33So I think this is a destabilization plan and we should not believe this.
04:38They're trying to confuse us.
04:42Thank you very much for your time, DICT Undersecretary ENT.
