00:00The NDRRMC is now finding out how to use the Emergency Text Alert in their campaign in Masbate City whenever there is an emergency or bad weather.
00:19Jonathan Andal has the news.
00:22Christian and his colleagues were shocked when they received the Emergency Alert on April 3 in Masbate City.
00:31They thought there was a calamity.
00:34We were rattled for a while because the earthquake in Thailand and Myanmar had just ended.
00:41The governor, vice governor, congresswoman, and mayor were just campaigning.
00:49He posted it on social media for public awareness.
00:52Some doubted that they might have edited the screenshots.
00:56When they looked at the Emergency Alert history, there were alerts of the campaign.
01:01It is said that Christian will formally complain to Comelec so that the people using the Emergency Alert system can be questioned and answered in the campaign.
01:09I am afraid of myself because it is very risky.
01:12For me, this is the time to really fight for what is right.
01:18I know that what I am fighting for is right.
01:21Comelec condemned the use of the Emergency Alert and reported it to the NTC or National Telecommunications Commission and DICT or Department of Information and Communications Technology.
01:31That is a violation, not of Comelec law or election law, but a violation of other laws, especially our telecommunication law.
01:38But of course, it's easy to deny. They will say that it's not them.
01:42They will say that their enemies are the ones who are doing it.
01:46GMA Integrated News is trying to get the attention of four candidates who are campaigning for the so-called Emergency Alert.
01:52The NDRRMC did not like it either.
01:54They investigated how the Emergency Alert was broadcast when they did not have permission.
02:00It's not from the NDRRMC and it's not from our telcos.
02:05Hopefully, the NTC can help us to trace who did it and how it was done.
02:11There can be many violations of the law.
02:15First of all, it's impersonation.
02:18Especially, the authorities should be the ones giving it.
02:23The NDRRMC asked the NDRRMC not to involve the Emergency Alert system in the campaign because the public's safety is at stake.
02:31Maybe when the time comes when our countrymen need to listen,
02:36they will think that it's a fake news that they are receiving.
02:41We are talking about life.
02:44The NTC and DICT have not yet issued an official statement.
