Presensiya ng ISIS sa Western Visayas, planong pag-atake walang katotohanan - PRO6

KALIBO, AKLAN – Pinabulaaanan ng Police Regional Office 6 ang kumakalat na bali-balita na may presensiya ng ISIS o teroristang grupo sa rehiyon at planong pag-atake.

Ayon sa opisyal na pahayag ng PRO6 wala umano itong katotohanan. “The messages spreading around are all fake news.” Hinikayat rin ng kapulisan na itigil na ang pagpapakalat ng nasabing mensahe.

“Do not be a part of spreading fake news and unverified information to prevent panic and sowing fear to other members of the community.”

Sa halip nanawagan ang kapulisan na tulungan sila sa pamamagitan ng pagreport ng mga kahina-hinalang tao sa kanilang lugar.

“We would like to assure the public that PRO6 is on the top of the situation and we are imposing measures to monitor and prevent terroristic activities here in Western Visayas,” pagsiguro ng PRO 6.

Naka heightened alert ngayon ang kapulisan sa buong bansa kabilang na ang Western Visayas kasunod ng magkakasunod na pagbomba na naganap sa Jolo.##

Seguridad ng mga mamamahayag siniguro ng gobyerno sa isang pagtitipon sa Iloilo

SINIGURO NG pamahalaan ang kaligtasan ng mga mamamahayag sa isang seminar na ginanap sa Iloilo Convention Center sa lungsod ng Iloilo araw ng Miyerkules at mabigyan ng hustiya ang mga pinatay na mga media worker.

Tinalakay sa seminar na pinangunahan ng Presidential Task Force on Media Security (PTFoMS) ang operational guidelines ng Administrative Order no. 1 at ang protocols ng task force sa pagresolba ng mga kaso gaya ng threat, physical attack, torture, surveillance at pagpatay.

Dinaluhan ito ng mga media mula sa mga rehiyon IV-B, V, VI, VII, at VIII kasama ang mga opisyal ng Pambansang Pulisya, National Bureau of Investigation, Prosecution Service at mga mag-aaral ng pamamahayag.

Ayon kay USec. Jose Joel M. Egco, PTFoMS Executive Director, gumanda na ang ranking ng Pilipinas mula sa pangalawa sa pinaka-delekadong lugar sa buong mundo para sa mga mamamahayag noong 2015 ngayon ay nasa ikalimang pwesto na.

Noong 2016 ay nilagdaan ni Pangulong Duterte ang administrative order para bumuo ng Task Force na mag-iimbestiga sa mga kaso ng pagpapatay sa mga media workers kabilang na ang Maguindanao Massacre kung saan nasa 32 mamamahayag ang napatay.

Sinabi pa niya na seryoso ang gobyerno sa pangangalaga sa mga mamamahayag. Aniya ang pagpatay sa sinumang media workers ay pagpatay din sa malayang pamamahayag gaya ng ipinagkakaloob ng Saligang Batas.
