Pekeng balita kay Pope Francis, kinondena

KONONDENA ni Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez ang pagkalat ng pekeng balita na yumao na umano si Pope Francis, na maituturing na isang nakakabahalang pagpapakita ng “reckless misinformation” kasabay ng panawagan sa publiko na maging mapagbantay laban sa fake news.

 

“This is a troubling reminder of how ruthless and irresponsible fake news has become. Spreading false information about the Holy Father not only causes unnecessary alarm but also undermines the truth at a time when facts matter more than ever,” ani Romualdez.

 

Reaksyon ito ng speaker sa lumabas na viral post ukol sa pekeng balita na yumao na umano si Pope Francis sa Rome’s Agostino Gemelli University Hospital sa Rome, na agad namang pinasinungalingan ng Vatican.

 

Hinikayat ni Romualdez ang publiko na beripikain ang impormasyon bago ito ipakalat o ipamahagi dail importante ang pagkakaroon ng digital responsibility upang maiwasan ang pagkalat ng maling impormsyon.

 

“Social media must not be a tool for deception. We all have a duty to be responsible with the information we consume and share. Misinformation can erode trust, create confusion, and cause distress, especially when it involves a leader as deeply respected as Pope Francis,” dagdag nito.

 

Hinikayat din nito ang lahat na maglaan ng panalangin para sa agarang paggaling ng Santo papa sa halip na magpakalat ng pekeng balita.

 

“Rather than spreading baseless rumors, let us turn our energy toward prayer and goodwill. Pope Francis inspires millions with his wisdom and compassion, and we pray for his continued strength and good health,” pagtatapos nito.
