MANILA, Philippines — The National Privacy Commission (NPC) on Thursday said that the ‘alarming’ alert blast of emergency alerts that endorsed the presidential bid of former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. merited a “close and deep” investigation by authorities. ADVERTISEMENT“This one is quite different and alarming in a way because this blast happened under the very noses of authorities. So this should really merit a close, deep investigation,” Liboro said in an interview on ABS-CBN News Channel on Thursday. Liboro pointed out that emergency alerts usually go through a thorough process before they can be blasted out. The camp of Marcos, meanwhile, distanced itself from the emergency alerts, saying it was an effort to derail the former senator’s candidacy.
