The National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) confirmed the takedown of 145 unauthorized Facebook pages fraudulently using the agency’s name, logo, and identity.
The move followed a formal request for assistance to the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG), which coordinated with Meta for appropriate action.

The fake pages falsely presented themselves as official NAPOLCOM accounts and, in some cases, as affiliated examination review centers.
NAPOLCOM Commissioner Rafael Vicente Calinisan thanked the PNP-ACG for its swift and decisive action on the matter.
He said the removal of the pages protects the integrity of NAPOLCOM examinations and safeguards the public from online fraud and misinformation.
