🚨 PUBLIC AWARENESS ADVISORY 🚨
WHO IS BEHIND “COUNTRY MAIL ONLINE”?
The public, particularly the people of Pangasinan, is encouraged to exercise greater vigilance when reading and sharing information published by the page Country Mail Online.
The page currently presents itself on Facebook as an independent media entity and has accumulated more than 300,000 followers. However, readers should not judge the credibility of a news source based on follower count alone.
We are calling for TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY:
Who currently owns and operates Country Mail Online?
Who are its editors and administrators?
Who takes editorial responsibility for the stories and allegations it publishes?
What is its process for verifying information before publication?
Concerns have been raised regarding allegedly false, misleading, fabricated, or insufficiently verified information appearing on the platform. These concerns should be examined carefully and supported by evidence rather than simply accepted or repeated.
We therefore encourage the people of Pangasinan:
VERIFY BEFORE YOU SHARE.
Check controversial claims against official government records, statements from the people involved, and established independent news organizations.
DO NOT ALLOW SOCIAL MEDIA TO BECOME A WEAPON FOR DISINFORMATION.
A news organization asking public officials and private individuals to be accountable should likewise be prepared to demonstrate who is responsible for its reporting and how its information is verified.
WHO IS BEHIND COUNTRY MAIL ONLINE?
The public deserves transparency.
BE INFORMED. BE CRITICAL. BE VIGILANT.
This public awareness advisory raises questions concerning transparency and verification. It does not declare unverified allegations against any individual or organization to be established facts.
