Isko: Manila PIO Facebook page 'held hostage,' asks Meta for access
Manila City Mayor Isko Moreno has ordered the city's legal department to contact Meta to reclaim control of the Manila Public Information Office's (MPIO) Facebook page from former employees.
Moreno directed the chief city legal attorney to write to Meta to transfer the page's management authority to the current City Public Information Officer, E-jhay Talagtag.
The Mayor emphasized that the Facebook page is a crucial tool for public information dissemination, especially during crises, and should not be held hostage by previous city hall employees.
He also mentioned the possibility of filing charges against the individuals withholding the page, citing concerns about them being protected by civil service rules.
The MPIO Facebook page's last post was on June 30, prior to newly elected officials assuming their positions on the same day.
