Statement of Indignation on the Flagging of Good Governance Posts by the NTF-ELCAC

Statement of Indignation on the Flagging of Good Governance Posts by the NTF-ELCAC and other Government media agencies on Facebook (by so-called "fact-checkers)

Pathetic.

Cowardly.

Desperate.

Lutang.

These describe the entities composed of a bunch of self-anointed, presumptuous, tyrranical, and abusive "fact-checkers" that set faulty, erroneous, biased, oppressive, and repressive "Community Standards" for the social media platform Facebook.

These so-called "fact-checkers" flagged posts and articles by the NTF-ELCAC and by government media entities, including official press releases of the Philippine Government.

Good governance posts and articles highlighting the achievements of the government's economic recovery programs and delivery of basic social services and infrastructure projects to our communities, IP areas, and the hinterland barangays were flagged as violative of their so-called community standards.

This is the height of arrogance and stupidity on the part of those who are responsible for establishing the faulty community standards.

Rest assured, your actions shall not be tolerated and shall not go unpunished.

If it will be proven after the conduct of an investigation that your actions (under the guise of "fact-checking" based not on facts but on something else as dictated by your principals) have resulted in hampering, preventing, hindering, obstructing, demeaning, villifying, and undermining legitimate government efforts, programs, projects, and fact based accomplishments by government agencies, proper actions will be undertaken against you and possible sanctions may be meted out on you.

Moreover, if it can be proven that you have allowed yourselves to be used as instruments or tools by any entity or group that has been designated as enemies of the government, expect that the state will hold you accountable for your pseudo fact-checking targetting the government.

Clearly, the intent is to silence the NTF-ELCAC from speaking the Truth to the Filipino people.

This is not an attack on NTF-ELCAC alone.

This is an attack against the Filipino people.

This is an affront to the Philippine Government.

This is an attack against freedom of expression.

This is an affront to all of us who work to end the local communist armed conflict.

To those responsible for this cowardly act, your notion of the truth is out of touch with the realities on the ground,

sa wikang Pilipino, mga lutang kayo sa mga sariling mundo ninyo na hindi nyo nakikita at nalalaman ang mga nangyari, pangyayari, at mga naganap na at nagaganap sa paligid ninyo.

Because of your actions, we have proven one undeniable fact, the people and the groups behind your sinister acts are desperate to silence the NTF-ELCAC.

They must be hurting so badly that you, the lowly minions doing the dirty work of suppressing the truth, are forced to turn a blind eye to the truth and cancel the truth by putting up a criteria for community standards that would fit your make believe world.

For this, you are simply pathetic.

You are all cowards. You cannot face the truth.

Hell, you won't even go to the communities to validate the contents of the good governance posts.

You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

If you happen to be Filipinos, mas dapat kayong mahiya sa mga pinag gagagawa ninyo.

Instead of helping your government bring the truth to our people, you suppress it. If you are doing it for the money, then

Shame on you all!

Despite your efforts to silence us,

we remain steadfast in our commitment to bring the government closer to our people and to win the peace by ending the local communist armed conflict.

In the end, the Truth will Prevail.
