Malacañang: Rep. Barzaga used PBBM's name for disinformation

Malacañang stated that Cavite Representative Kiko Barzaga allegedly used President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s name to justify his disinformation posts and campaigns.

This statement comes a day after the House of Representatives suspended Barzaga for the "reckless, offensive, and irresponsible use of his social media platform."

The House ruled that Barzaga violated the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees after posting lewd photos and making seditious comments involving the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

Presidential Communications Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro clarified that President Marcos Jr. was not involved when Barzaga posted lewd photos or made comments against the AFP.

Castro asserted that Barzaga is dragging the President's name into his suspension issue to justify his actions.
