00:00It is very obvious that more fake news are lingering, maybe because of the present situation
00:13regarding the arrest of former President Duterte.
00:20We are taking steps like what we had last week.
00:23We had this live discussion with the concerned authorities to answer all those issues that
00:30had been raised by some people from the mainstream and also from the social media.
00:39So with this kind of projects that we have with the PCOO, like the press briefing and
00:48the live discussion, I think people will have this chance to know what is fake news and
00:58what is not.
00:59I understand NBI is making a plan of action as well as the PNP to run after fake news
01:07peddlers.
01:08Are you and the PCOO cooperating with these agencies?
01:11Yes, we are cooperating especially with the increase of fake news so that the truth will be clear.
01:18As you can see, even the former ES Medialdea, we saw how he mentioned that former President
01:31Duterte is missing.
01:32That was actually a lie by the ICC.
01:35So with those irresponsible statements, people should think and evaluate so that our minds
01:47and feelings will not be disturbed.
01:48But do you believe that it is about time that there will be a sample of the fake news?
01:54We are studying that.
