TINAWAG na “fake news” at “marites” ng Philippine National Police-Highway Patrol Group (PNP-HPG) ang balita o tsismis na may nakuhang luxury vehicles ng mag-asawang Discaya sa parking lot ng PNP national headquarters sa Camp Crame sa Quezon City.

Ayon sa PNP, malaking kalokohan ang nagsi-circulate ngayon sa social na ipinakalat umano ng ilang reporters.

Tinawag ng PNP na ‘kuryente’ o maling balita ang kumakalat at hindi dapat paniwalaan o bigyang pansin.

Pero kahit na maling balita, ininspeksyon pa rin ng PNP-HPG sa pamumuno ni Col. Hansel Marantan at PNP Headquarters Support Service chief Brigadier Gen. Job Russel Balaquit ang lahat ng parking areas ng Camp Crame.

Lumabas sa massive inspection na: “no luxury vehicles were found parked within the compound.”

The PNP-HPG emphasized that the message currently spreading online is *fake news,* deliberately intended to mislead the public and tarnish the image of the organization.

Sinabi ni Col. Marantan na iniimbestigahan na nila ang pinagmulan ng fake news at kung sino ang nagpakalat.

“Appropriate charges will be filed against individuals or groups responsible for spreading false reports in violation of existing laws against cybercrime and malicious information.

We want to assure the public that no such luxury vehicles exist inside Camp Crame as claimed in the circulating message. This is clearly an act of misinformation.

The PNP-HPG will not tolerate the spread of fake news, and we are committed to holding accountable those responsible for undermining public trust,” pahayag ni Col. Marantan.
