READ | DILG calls for unified front vs fake news, misinformation amid crises
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Thursday called for a unified government effort to curb the spread of fake news and misinformation, stressing that accurate, timely, and verified information is critical to preventing fear and confusion during crises.
Speaking during the Kapihan sa Manila held at Prince Hotel in Ermita, Manila, DILG Undersecretary for Public Affairs and Communication Ronaldo C. Puno said combating fake news and misinformation is a shared responsibility of government agencies, the media, and the public, particularly during high-tension incidents such as the recent school shooting in Zamboanga City.
“We really need a concerted effort to quash fake news,” Puno said, underscoring the need for the DILG and other government agencies to work together to ensure that only verified and factual information reaches the public.
He said the school shooting incident also highlighted the need to continuously improve government communication and information dissemination mechanisms during crises.
“Hindi tayo sanay sa mga pangyayaring ganyan (school shooting incidents). But it does call to refine processes and make things better,” Puno said.
Hours after the shooting incident at Ateneo de Zamboanga University, videos purportedly showing injured school security guards circulated widely on social media, sparking confusion and fueling unverified reports that the two guards had been killed.
Puno urged the public to rely on official and verified information from credible government authorities, noting that the Philippine National Police (PNP) exercises caution in releasing information while reports are still being validated.
“Given the tense situation, given how quickly things progressed, nag-iingat din ang pulis. They want to share the information as quickly as possible, but they want to share verified information,” he said.
Puno also cited the DILG’s immediate response following the Zamboanga incident, with Secretary Jonvic Remulla holding press conferences to provide the media and the public with verified information as it became available.
“Shortly after the Zamboanga situation, he (SILG Jonvic Remulla) came up with a statement right away to try to give us as many details as possible,” Puno said.
The DILG likewise reminded the public to verify information before sharing it, particularly during emergencies and other rapidly developing situations where unverified posts can quickly create fear, confusion, and unnecessary alarm.
The Department stressed that responsible information sharing, coupled with timely and coordinated communication from government, is crucial to ensuring that the public receives facts rather than speculation when accurate information matters most.

READ | DILG to honor top LGU innovations in active transport on Nat’l Bike Day
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is set to recognize local government units (LGUs) leading the way in making cycling, walking, and other forms of active transport safer and more accessible through the National Bike Day Awards and Recognition (NBDAR).
Launched by the Interagency Technical Working Group for Active Transport (IATWG-AT), the NBDAR recognizes innovative local policies, practices, and infrastructure that promote active transportation and provide pedestrians and cyclists with safer and more viable mobility options.
The IATWG-AT is composed of the DILG, Department of Transportation (DOTr), Department of Health (DOH), and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
Through DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2026-043, the Department urged provincial governors and city and municipal mayors to participate in the NBDAR and showcase their efforts to build more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable transport systems in their communities.
The initiative supports President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s directive to boost the viability of cycling as a mode of transportation and promote transport systems that provide Filipinos with more accessible mobility options.
Held in celebration of the annual National Bike Day, the NBDAR has three award categories: Main Category Awards, Outstanding Active Transport Initiative Awards, and Active Transport Champion.
The top three winners, clustered according to LGU classification, will receive plaques of recognition and be declared Gold, Silver, and Bronze awardees, respectively.
Among the key criteria are the presence of a designated unit and incentive mechanisms to promote active transportation; an established bike lane network; initiatives that address gaps in active transport facilities; and measures that improve access to key destinations, essential services, and activity centers.
Special awards will likewise be given to LGUs that demonstrate exemplary performance, best practices, and innovative interventions in select aspects of program implementation.
The DILG encouraged all LGUs to accomplish and submit the prescribed evaluation tools for their chosen category, together with the required means of verification and supporting documents, from the second week of August until the third week of October 2026.
LGUs must obtain a minimum passing score of 60 percent to qualify as winners in their respective categories, while the Active Transport Champion award is open to all LGUs.

LUNGSOD NG ILAGAN, ISABELA | Upang mas palakasin ang kahandaan ng Lalawigan ng Isabela laban sa mga banta ng sakuna at lindol, matagumpay na isinagawa ng Pamahalaang Panlalawigan ng Isabela sa ilalim ng pamumuno nina Punong Panlalawigan Rodolfo T.

Layunin ng IAP na suriin ang katatagan ng mga LGU-owned at lifeline vertical infrastructure facilities ng bawat bayan o lungsod upang matiyak ang kaligtasan ng mamamayan sakaling magkaroon ng malakas na pagyanig. Naging tampok sa ikalawang araw ng bawat pangkat ang Field Exercise, kung saan aktwal na ginamit ng mga kalahok ang IAP Tool para sa mabilis, organisado, at sistematikong pagtatasa sa kalagayan ng mga gusali at pasilidad.

Kabilang sa mga kalahok ang mga City/Municipal Engineer, Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officer (DRRMO), Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator (MPDC), mga miyembro ng Sangguniang Bayan, piling Punong Barangay at mga teknikal na kawani.

Sa pormal na pagbubukas ng programa, pinangunahan ni Engr. Rodolfo G. Miranda, Acting Provincial Engineer ng Pamahalaang Panlalawigan ng Isabela, ang mainit na pagtanggap sa mga kalahok, kung saan kinilala at pinasalamatan niya ang dedikasyon ng 37 na lokal na pamahalaan sa kanilang aktibong paglahok sa mahalagang inisyatibong ito.

Ipinaalala ni Engr. Corazon D. Toribio, CESO V, Panlalawigang Patnugot ng DILG Isabela, ang kahalagahan ng nasabing pagsasanay lalo pa at ang Pilipinas ay kabilang sa Pacific Ring of Fire, kung saan napapaligiran ito ng mga aktibong bulkan at fault line. Binigyang-diin ni PD Toribio na ang nasabing programa ay isang mahalagang hakbang upang lubos na maging handa ang bawat lungsod at bayan.

Gayundin na nagbigay ng paalala at hamon si Panrehiyong Patnugot Agnes A. De Leon, CESO IV, sa mga kalahok ukol sa tunay na gampanin ng isang lingkod-bayan. "Sa kabila ng lahat, ang ating tungkulin bilang mga lingkod-bayan ay gamitin ang ating mga matututuhan ngayong araw upang matiyak ang kaligtasan ng mga komunidad na ating pinaglilingkuran. Kaya naman, nawa'y magawa po natin nang tama ang ating mga tungkulin para sa maayos at epektibong pagsasagawa ng Infrastructure Audit sa inyong mga lokal na pamahalaan," saad ni Panrehiyong Patnugot De Leon.

Nagpaabot din ng mahalagang suporta si Atty. Christopher A. Mamauag, Panlalawigang Tagapamahala ng Panlalawigang Pamahalaan ng Isabela para sa patuloy na pagpapatatag ng mga pamayanan sa buong lalawigan.

Inaasahan na sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatupad ng IAP, ang bawat lungsod, bayan, at buong lalawigan ng Isabela ay epektibong magagamit ang IAP tool at ang mga natutuhan upang masimulan ang pag-audit ng mga imprastruktura na magpapatatag sa kahandaan ng bawat pamahalaang lokal.
