DWDD: AFP spokesperson on the article published by Rappler

DWDD AFP Civil Relations Service Radio Website (Aug 7): AFP spokesperson on the article published by Rappler



The news report that “Basilan under the state of calamity after military operations” that came out of Rappler news online by Richard Falcatan published 12:50PM of August 6, 2018 and updated 1:02PM August 6, 2018 (sic) is untrue.

The news report went on by saying that, “The provincial board of Basilan declared a state of calamity in the province Monday, August 6, upon the recommendation of the peace and order council.

This was after the Armed Forces of the Philippines launched massive operations in the municipality of Mohammad Ajul Municipality.”

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has contacted Basilan Governor JIm Hataman-Salliman and he said that the declaration was due to the “cocolisap” infestation and the ensuing rice shortage. He denies though that it is due to the military operations that followed post the Lamitan City Blast.

We demand that Rappler rectify their misleading news report and validate their story with Basilan Governor Jim Hataman-Salliman.
