By MANILA – President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. will not be distracted by disinformation targeting his health as the government focuses on addressing the country’s energy crisis, Malacañang said Thursday.
Presidential Communications Office (PCO) acting Secretary Dave Gomez said a “sudden and coordinated surge” of false information has been detected by the agency’s Anti-Fake News Desk across social media platforms, prompting the government to prepare legal action.
“The President remains laser-focused on one mission: solving our energy emergency and delivering real, tangible help to every Filipino family, improving their lives and strengthening our economy.” The Philippines earlier declared a national energy emergency following global oil supply disruptions linked to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which have driven up fuel prices and raised concerns over supply stability.
