PNP debunks false social media post claiming Nartatez Jr. urged disobedience to Marcos Jr.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) has officially debunked a social media post that falsely claimed acting chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. had called on uniformed personnel to disobey President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.

The PNP stated that such claims are fabricated and malicious, designed to sow confusion and damage the reputation of the institution.

The police force reaffirmed its loyalty to the Constitution and its commitment to obeying lawful orders from President Marcos Jr., the Commander-in-Chief.

An investigation is underway to identify the source of the disinformation, with the PNP vowing to take legal action against those responsible.

Nartatez himself confirmed that neither he nor his subordinates had been asked to withdraw support from the President, emphasizing that Marcos Jr. won the election by a majority vote.

This denial comes shortly after the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff, Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr., rejected calls from certain groups and retired officers to oust the President.
