Kumakalat na audio clip at walang basehang haka-haka ukol sa “total lockdown”, pinalagan ng Malakanyang

PINALAGAN ng Malakanyang ang kumakalat sa social media na audio clip at walang basehang haka-haka ukol sa ‘total lockdown’.

“We have come across an audio clip that has been shared via personal messages and social media, in which a male speaker warns the public to stock up on essential supplies as the government is considering placing the country under a “total lockdown.”ayon kay acting Presidential spokesperson at Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles.

“This is a false and baseless statement,” diing pahayag nito.

Muli ay umapela ang Malakanyang sa publiko na ipagwalang-bahala ang nasabing “unfounded and malicious rumors” at umiwas mula sa pagbabahagi nito sa pamilya at kaibigan.

“As I said in our press briefing yesterday, our country is dealing with a real threat that understandably concerns our people, and spreading these unverified rumors contributes to unnecessary anxiety and needless panic. Hindi po ito nakakatulong,” giit ni Nograles.

Muling inulit ni Nograles ang ibinigay na katiyakan ng Department of Agriculture hinggil sa inventory para sa mga pangunahing bilihin partikular na ang bigas.

Aniya, may sapat na suplay ng bigas at tatagal pa ito hanggang sa susunod na tatlong buwan. Sapat aniya para sa susunod na pag-aani o harvest season sa Abril.

“The same also holds true for lowland and highland vegetables, which is at 85 percent and 107 percent sufficiency level, respectively,” ayon sa Department of Agriculture.

Samantala, sinabi pa rin ni Nograles na habang hinihikayat ng pamahalaan ang publiko na manatiling may kalaaman ukol sa pinakabagong kaganapan hinggil sa laban sa COVID, hinimok naman niya ang lahat na kumuha lamang ng balita at impormasyon mula sa “credible sources.”

“Dismiss disinformation, and contribute positively in our efforts to stop the spread of COVID by observing minimum public health standards and by getting vaccinated in order to protect ourselves, our families and our communities,” giit ni Nograles. (Daris Jose)
