00:00The new PCO Secretary Cesar Chavez
00:03has promised to provide correct and timely information to the public.
00:10The earliest announcement will be given if the entry and exit to work is suspended at the worst time.
00:19Kenneth Paciente is in the center of the news.
00:22Information dissemination will be the focus of the new PCO Secretary Cesar Chavez.
00:38This is to ensure that the message of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. will reach the Filipino people correctly.
00:45This is also the other step that the government is taking.
00:48Even so, the secret that will remain is that the President is still the primary spokesperson of the government.
01:16I'll be asking some people who are experts on national security, who are experts on social development,
01:20who are experts on infrastructure, on PPP to help me join my team.
01:25I cannot reveal their names at the moment, but they will do their best.
01:29According to Secretary Chavez,
01:31the earliest announcement will be given if the entry and exit to work is suspended at the worst time.
01:37That is why a digital platform was also built that includes OCD, Pag-asa, MMDA,
01:44Office of the Executive Secretary, and others,
01:47to make the decision and the announcement quicker.
01:51We will take the risk.
01:52If we say that before 4 o'clock, there is a suspension of the class, government, or private,
01:59if there is such a thing,
02:01we will take the risk even if at 9 or 11 in the morning,
02:06we will take the risk.
02:08But the template is, before nightfall,
02:10if we know that there is a problem with the weather system,
02:14if we look at Metro Manila and its environment,
02:17the PCO will announce it by nightfall.
02:19He also assured that the fight against disinformation and fake news will be a priority of his leadership in the PCO.
02:26As part of the PCO's work,
02:28the establishment of a fact-checking officer in state media as part of the PTV
02:33to ensure that the spread of disinformation and fake news will be avoided.
02:37If we see that something is fake,
02:41there is a process of checking.
02:43How can we see if the news is fake or not?
02:46We will mark it right away.
02:48So that it is clear, so that it will not be exposed.
02:52Timely, accurate, and validated information is what we need here in the PCO.
02:57The President trusted Chavez
02:59that he will be able to continue his work
03:01because of his good track record and experience in public service.
03:04His directive to the public is to share the truth.
