PNP flags ‘sensationalized’ crime rise
The Philippine National Police (PNP) is warning about the increasing problem of sensationalism and misinformation surrounding crime on social media, which complicates their investigations.
PNP officials highlighted that the rapid spread of unverified and exaggerated details about crimes, especially unsolved ones, leads to the proliferation of fake news and public misinformation.
To combat this issue, the PNP has established the Joint Anti-Fake News Advisory Action Committee as a preemptive measure.
Despite the challenges posed by online sensationalism, the PNP affirmed their commitment to transparency while emphasizing the importance of relying on verified data.
Regarding election security, the PNP announced a plan to deploy over 140,000 personnel to more than 37,500 voting centers nationwide.
