00:00The government is intensifying its efforts against the spread of fake news online,

00:05particularly content targeting public figures and institutions.

00:10With this, the National Bureau of Investigation or NBI is now actively filing cases against vloggers,

00:16including overseas Filipino workers involved in disseminating misleading content.

00:22PTV's Isaiah Mirafuentes has the report.

00:25To be arrested right at the airport, that will be the action the National Bureau of Investigation or NBI

00:31will take against overseas Filipino workers or OFWs spreading fake news.

00:36This will be implemented once the Department of Justice or DOJ issues a want of arrest against them.

00:42The NBS is concerned because most of the so-called fake news peddlers or OFWs.

00:47According to NBS spokesperson Ferdinand Levine,

00:50Cyber-patrolling or monitoring cyberspace is the current action being taken by their agency to fight fake news.

00:56Well, patuloy lang kami mag-iimbestiga at magsasampan ng kaso

01:00para malaman nila na ang gobyerno ay may pagkilos patungkol sa mga ganitong malig gawain

01:08na nag-ikayat sa ating mga kababayan na sumuway o hindi sumunod

01:14o kaya iktawa ng hindi tama against legitimate government or authorities.

01:23The NBI also stated that anyone who will be charged for spreading fake news

01:27will immediately have a bad hit on their NBI clearance.

01:30Regarding the case, recently filed against former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque

01:34after he allegedly spearhead the spread of what is now known as the pulver on video.

01:39According to the NBI, they are just waiting for the resolution from the DOJ regarding their next step

01:44while they are also coordinating with the Department of Foreign Affairs or DFA for the possible arrest of Roque.

01:50Ang ibang-ibang sangay ng gobyerno ay nagtutulong-tulong kami.

01:55Ang inyong PNP, ang NBI, ang PIDJ, ang DICT.

02:01Upang ito ay matapos na, binibigyan nito namin ng kaukulang pansin

02:08at hindi namin pamabayaan yung aming mga kasong naerpuninza sa Department of Justice

02:15at patuloy na mag-iimbestiga kami.

02:17It can be recalled that yesterday the NBI filed a case before the DOJ against vloggers spreading fake news.

02:24Prior to this, the NBI also filed a case against an OFW in the Yad, Saudi Arabia

02:28for spreading fake news against NBI Director Jaime Sanchago.

02:32Meanwhile, according to Senator Sherwin Gachalian, fake news is damaging and should not be tolerated,

02:38especially when our digital spaces are under attack.

02:41No one, even those abroad, should escape accountability

02:44and those who spread false information and undermine the integrity of the government must be immediately punished.

02:50From PTV Manila, Isaiah Mirfuentes, Balit ng Pamansa.
