SC to investigate ‘acts of disinformation’ on social media posts
The Supreme Court (SC) announced it will take action against disinformation spread on social media, particularly posts falsely attributed to its spokesperson.
These fake posts, originating from Facebook accounts 'Choose Libungan' and 'Bernard Flores Maicon,' include a fabricated document claiming the SC received a petition for President Marcos' resignation based on 16 million signatures.
The SC vehemently denied the authenticity of the document and stated that no such petition has been received, nor has an en banc session been scheduled to discuss it.
The high court also refuted previous false reports from March 11, 2025, alleging the issuance of a temporary restraining order.
The SC intends to investigate these incidents of disinformation and impose appropriate sanctions on those responsible.
