NBI issues subpoenas vs. vloggers over false claims on President Marcos’ health

The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) has confirmed that the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has issued subpoenas to three vloggers accused of spreading false information regarding President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s health.

“Ang binigay na dokumento ng PCO para sa agarang malalimang pag-iimbestiga sa mga vloggers na nagpakalat ng peke patungkol sa kalusugan ng ating Pangulo ay nai-forward na sa NBI. At nagkaroon na rin ng subpoena para sa karampatang pag-iimbestiga,” said PCO Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro.

The PCO, through its Anti-Fake News Desk, referred three Facebook accounts to the Department of Justice (DOJ) on April 15.

The referral was made for investigation and potential legal action regarding allegedly fabricated claims concerning the President’s health.

Castro identified the accounts as "Crage Anderpal," "Rigondola Ping," and "Iloy Bugris: The Queen of Revelations."

In its complaint, the PCO claimed that the owners of the accounts allegedly committed the following actions:

• “Iloy Bugris”: Allegedly conducted live streams claiming the President was critically ill.

• “Rigondola Ping”: Posted manipulated images showing the President in apparent physical distress.

• “Crage Anderpal”: Shared fabricated news graphics falsely indicating official confirmation of a serious health condition.
