In a recent advisory, Vice President Sara Duterte has taken to social media to alert the public about a growing concern: individuals impersonating her on messaging platforms. Through a post on her Facebook account, as well as the official page of the Office of the Vice President, she urged citizens to remain vigilant against suspicious messages purporting to be from her.
The advisory included a screenshot of a conversation where the impersonator requested a list of congressmen who support her. In her message, Duterte emphasized the importance of caution, stating, “Tandaan: huwag makipag-ugnayan, magbigay ng personal na impormasyon, at lalong-lalo na huwag magpadala ng pera. Ako ay hinding-hindi humihingi ng anumang pabor, pinansyal man o hindi, sa publiko.”

Duterte’s advisory serves as a timely reminder of the need for awareness and vigilance in the face of deception, especially as society navigates through ongoing crises. The Vice President’s proactive stance highlights the importance of safeguarding personal information and financial resources from potential scams.
