Stop spreading fake news as these do not help remedy the problems affecting the country.
This according to House Speaker Faustino “Bojie” G. Dy III, who on Monday called for an end to the dissemination of fake news, stressing that misinformation only undermines efforts to address the country’s real problems.
“Sa mga nagtatanim ng pagdududa sa isip ng taumbayan, nakikiusap kami na itigil ninyo na ang pagpapakalat ng fake news dahil hindi ito nakakatulong sa pagresolba sa mga problema ng ating bayan,” Dy said in his address on the resumption of the sessions at the House of Representatives.
The Speaker emphasized that the members House remain focused on its mandate, guided by accountability to the Filipino people.
“Wala po kaming ibang hangarin kundi makapaglingkod, at gawin ang aming mga responsibilidad dito sa Kamara,” he said.
“Gagawin namin ang aming mandato at tungkulin nang makatarungan at tapat sapagkat naniniwala kaming walang anumang katumbas ang prinsipyo at dangal.”
Dy emphasized that every action taken by the House is anchored on the welfare of the public and their constitutional duty to push for transparency and accountability in government.
“Sa bawat desisyon, iisa lang ang aming gabay: ang aming pananagutan sa inyo at sa buong bayan—our oath to uphold the welfare of our people and to ensure transparency and accountability in government.”
