VP Duterte warns public vs individuals posing as her on messaging app

Vice President Sara Duterte on Wednesday warned the public against individuals impersonating her on a messaging platform.

In an advisory posted on her Facebook account and the Office of the Vice President Facebook page, Duterte cautioned the public to be wary of suspicious messages from people claiming to be her.

The post was accompanied by a screenshot of a conversation on the messaging platform, in which the person claiming to the Vice President asked for a list of congressmen supporting her.

“Tandaan: huwag makipag-ugnayan, magbigay ng personal na impormasyon, at lalong-lalo na huwag magpadala ng pera. Ako ay hinding-hindi humihingi ng anumang pabor, pinansyal man o hindi, sa publiko,” she said.

(Remember: Do not engage, give personal information, and most of all do not send money. I will not ask for any favors, financial or not, from the public.)

“Muli, pinapaalalahanan ko ang publiko na mag-ingat laban sa mga mapagsamantala at mapanlinlang, at nang-iisa sa kapwa, lalo na ngayong may kinakaharap tayong krisis,” Duterte added.

(Once again, I remind the public to be careful of unscrupulous individuals especially that we are facing a crisis.) — JMA, GMA News
