BINIGYANG-DIIN ng Malacañang na “fake news” ang kumakalat na balita hinggil sa memorandum circular na dalawang araw na kaltas- sahod sa mga empleyado sa gobyerno upang gawing donasyon sa mga biktima ng ng lindol sa bansang Turkey at Syria.
Sinabi ni Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Secretary Cheloy Garafil na “This is not true,” .
Nakalagay sa memo na “The unfortunate earthquake occurred in Turkey on 6th February 2023 has caused significant human and livestock casualties as well as widespread damage to private homes and public infrastructures. Damage to infrastructure has worsened the humanitarian situation. To extend maximum support to Turkish government and people to help them cope with the destruction caused by the earthquake, a fund has been established/opened as ‘President’s Relief Fund Fur Turkey Earthquake Victims’. It is further proposed deduction of salary from government employees. The President considered the proposal and approved the deductions…”
Pinekeng pirma rin ni Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin din ang nakalagay kung saan ay inaaatasan ang lahat ng opisyal ministries, divisions, departments, authorities, corporations, companies, financial institutions at commissions na nagtatrabaho sa ilalim ng “federal government” ay kinakailangang kalatasan ng a two-day salary .
Nakikipag-ugnayan at pinaiimbestigahan na rin aniya nila sa mga awtoridad ang may kagagawan nito upang mapanagot .
