THE Philippine National Police (PNP) has created two specialized committees, the Joint Anti-Kidnapping Action Committee (JAKAC) and the Joint Anti-Fake News Action Committee (JAFNAC), to bolster its commitment of public safety and true information dissemination.
In a statement, PNP chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil said the JAKAC will focus on identifying, investigating, and neutralizing organized kidnap-for-hire operations in the country.
On the other hand, the JAFNAC will focus on worsening misinformation and disinformation that also threaten public trust, peace, and national stability.
Marbil said the formation of the two committees were aligned with President Marcos’ Bagong Pilipinas vision, and reflects the PNP’s commitment to transparent, accountable, and proactive policing.
