By The Philippine National Police (PNP) on Wednesday appealed to the public to refrain from spreading videos of the recent violent incidents at schools in Tacloban City and Cavite.
“The reckless circulation of graphic videos depicting these school tragedies is not just a digital nuisance, it is a profound act of cruelty that re-victimizes survivors and forces grieving families to relive their worst nightmares repeatedly,” PNP chief Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. said in a statement.
“We urge the public, especially content creators and social media users, to stop the cycle of trauma by deleting and refusing to share these videos, as your desire for online engagement should never come at the cost of human dignity or the sanctity of an ongoing police investigation,” he added.
