PNP STATEMENT ON DISINFORMATION AIMED AT DISCREDITING PNP LEADERSHIP
The Philippine National Police (PNP) categorically denies the circulating Facebook post falsely claiming that PLTGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., Acting Chief of the PNP, urged police, military, and other uniformed personnel to disobey lawful orders of the President of the Philippines. These statements are fabricated and malicious, intended to spread confusion and discredit our institution.
The PNP remains steadfast in its allegiance to the Constitution, committed to following lawful orders from our Commander-in-Chief, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., and other duly constituted authorities, while upholding the highest standards of integrity, discipline, and professionalism in all our operations. Our loyalty is to the Filipino people and to the rule of law.
Authorities are currently investigating the source of this disinformation, and the PNP will pursue appropriate legal action against those responsible for spreading falsehoods.
We call on the public to exercise vigilance, verify information through official PNP channels, and refrain from sharing unverified content that may mislead others or undermine public trust.
The PNP continues to serve the Filipino people with honor, dedication, and accountability, while standing firm against attempts to misinform and destabilize the credibility of our law enforcement institutions.
