00:00 The Philippine Coast Guard called on Filipinos not to be a tool in spreading false information on the reputation of the PCG and Armed Forces of the Philippines
00:13 and their actions to defend the territory of the Philippines.
00:18 Noel Talacay has the story.
00:20 I'm calling out to all Filipinos who love to use Facebook and social media.
00:28 If you see fake news on your feed, at least care to comment. Share the right information.
00:36 This is what the Philippine Coast Guard for the West Philippine Sea, Spokesperson Komodore J. Tarilla, asked for in connection with the false information and pro-China content that is spreading on social media.
00:50 This is being the reason for the Philippine Coast Guard's "kawatak-watak" on a weekly news forum where he explained to the media what his tweet was about the other day,
01:02 where it was said that he heard a mouthpiece of China.
01:07 Well, to start with, this tweet is a personal opinion. It doesn't represent the stand of the Philippine Coast Guard or any national government agency,
01:16 neither the National Task Force of the West Philippine Sea.
01:20 What I said in the tweet, if you're a Filipino and you defend the Inchec, the Chinese government, the Chinese Coast Guard,
01:28 despite of the compelling evidences that we're releasing, despite of the videos that we're releasing, the photos that we're releasing to the public,
01:38 to show the aggressive behavior of China, it looks like we can say that you're unpatriotic.
01:46 He also added that the video and photos released by PCG and AFP are being edited to destroy their efforts in defending the West Philippine Sea against the China Coast Guard,
01:58 which is more often believed by some Filipinos.
02:04 These fake news peddlers are really aggressive. They're making columns in the media, they're wasting time in editing videos and photos.
02:16 Tarilya also stated that he still respects the freedom of expression of every Filipino, but...
02:23 We should also be very careful in framing our stories.
02:28 According to him, the spreading of fake news about the West Philippine Sea is giving a shock to Filipinos.
02:36 It's also possible that it will be the reason for the Philippines to lose in the fight for its territory.
02:43 He also assured the public that PCG and AFP are ready to defend the people against those who will even sacrifice our ocean.
02:53 Noel Talacay for the nation.
