Panayam kay DSWD Usec. Edu Punay

Transcript

00:00 Good afternoon, Magandang Tanghali, Eusek, Edu, welcome back.

00:04 Before we continue with the news and discussions, let's talk first, Eusek,

00:12 about the spreading of links on social media of those who are being awarded from DSWD.

00:19 What is the detail here, Eusek?

00:21 That's right, partner Nina, the DSWD has been victimized by fake news again.

00:27 We are always victimized by this.

00:30 There are links spreading on social media saying that we are giving awards for the iPhone 15,

00:37 the new iPhone model, and even 1000 US dollars.

00:43 Just register on that link.

00:46 We are saying it again and again, this is not true, this is fake news.

00:53 Don't believe us because we are not giving, we are not giving awards to the DSWD.

00:58 Our job is to provide assistance to our fellow countrymen who are in need and are in need.

01:04 Our advice, partner, to our fellow countrymen,

01:10 we will only listen to official channels and monitor news

01:16 and our official social media platforms, Facebook and Twitter,

01:23 the handle is @DSWDServes, that is our official Facebook and Twitter, nothing else.

01:31 So if there are people who are being awarded such offers, don't be afraid,

01:37 we will always verify and double check our official government agencies

01:44 so that we won't be victimized by fake news.

01:46 Because partner, this is dangerous, you won't be fooled,

01:51 our cybersecurity is still dangerous, our accounts are being hacked because of such modus.

01:57 And we at DSWD, like what I said, partner, we have been victimized by this several times.

02:02 Earlier this year, senior citizens gathered outside our office

02:07 because they received fake news that we have been given aid.

02:13 There really is nothing, so we should be careful, we always double check our sources.

02:19 Sometimes, the aid is more trustworthy, but the iPhone 15 at 1,000 US dollars,

02:27 you should be careful, but anything always, double check or triple check,

02:33 because once you press that link, you will get all the details in your Facebook accounts

02:40 and later, your relatives and friends will ask for money.

02:44 So we should be careful with such things.

02:46 That's right, partner. I just want to add, partner,

02:49 the government is not sleeping in responding to fake news.

02:55 The administration, the head of the Presidential Communications Office,

02:59 launched a media and information literacy campaign to fight fake news in our social media

03:07 and the government is victimizing various agencies.

03:10 The administration of President Bongbong Marcos is doing something,

03:14 which is called MIL, Media and Information Literacy Campaign.

03:18 Yes, okay, so we should always be vigilant.
