MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 There is no truth to claims that there will be military control and extension of enhanced community quarantine in Luzon, Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles said on Friday.<\/p>\n

In a radio interview, Nograles branded as \u201cfake news\u201d the rumors circulating on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cGusto ko lang pong linawin na lahat po iyan ay puro\u00a0<\/em>fake news.\u00a0Huwag po tayong maniwala, mga kababayan<\/em>\u00a0(I want to clarify that the rumors are fake news. To all, do not believe unverified information),\u201d Nograles said.<\/p>\n

Fake news are shared rapidly online since President Rodrigo Duterte placed the island of Luzon under quarantine to stop the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).<\/p>\n

Contrary to the false information, Nograles said the government was doing its best to address Covid-19 outbreak before the quarantine ends on April 12.<\/p>\n

\u201cAng gusto nga natin, madaliin na ito. Gusto natin mapabilis na itong ano natin pero kailangan ‘yung<\/em>\u00a0cooperation\u00a0ng iba<\/em>\u00a0(We want to immediately address this Covid-19 pandemic. We want to end this health crisis but we need the cooperation of everyone),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nograles advised the public to monitor the official websites and Facebook pages of all concerned government agencies handling the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

He said all official announcements would only come from President Rodrigo Duterte, the Department of Health, and the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID).<\/p>\n

\u201cAt tandaan po natin, ang lagi lang po nating pakikinggan, \u2018yung<\/em>\u00a0IATF, Department of Health\u00a0at pati na rin po si Pangulong Duterte<\/em>\u00a0(Let\u2019s only believe all the information from IATF, the Department of Health, and President Duterte),\u201d Nograles said.<\/p>\n

Nograles said the Philippine National Police\u2019s Criminal Investigation and Detection Group and Anti-Cybercrime Group, along with the National Bureau of Investigation, are now intensifying operations against purveyors of fake news.<\/p>\n

\u201cNago<\/em>-overtime\u00a0po para makapag<\/em>-sample\u00a0na po tayo dahil hindi na po maganda ito. Hindi na po nakakatuwa<\/em>\u00a0(They are working overtime to punish individuals who are sharing false information because it\u2019s not funny anymore),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Duterte on March signed Republic Act (RA) 11469 or the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act, which grants him special powers to solve the Covid-19 outbreak in the country.<\/p>\n

One of the provisions included in RA 11469 imposes a two-month jail sentence or a fine of up to PHP1 million against persons who spread false information related to Covid-19.<\/p>\n

As of Thursday, the Philippines has 707 confirmed cases of Covid-19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
