The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has issued subpoenas to Jinky Avelino Miraflores Carpio, also known as “Iloy Bugris,” and two other vloggers who allegedly spread false information about the health of President Bongbong Marcos.
Carpio, a native of Iloilo City and currently based in Dubai, as well as “Rigondola Ping” and “Crage Anderpal,” were ordered to appear before the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in connection to the ongoing investigation.
The issuance of subpoenas was confirmed by Palace press officer Claire Castro during a press briefing on Monday, April 27.
“Ang binigay na dokumento ng PCO (Presidential Communications Office) 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,” she told reporters.
The investigation stemmed by from complaints filed by the Anti Fake News Desk of the Presidential Communications Office before the Department of Justice (DOJ).
According to the complaint, Carpio reportedly conducted live broadcasts claiming that Marcos was critically ill.
Meanwhile, Rigondola Ping posted manipulated images depicting Marcos in a state of physical distress, while Crage Anderpalcshared fabricated news graphics falsely claiming official confirmation of a serious health condition.IMT
