THE Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) debunks the false operational documents currently in circulation in social media.
Two pictures of documents were posted online; an Authority to Operate and a Pre-Operation Report, both dated March 11, 2012. PDEA ran a check through its Plans and Operations Reports Management Information System or PORMIS and found that no such operation was logged on said date.
A critical feature of PORMIS is that one cannot insert or tamper with recorded operations. All pre-operation documents are serialized and recorded in this database. This ensures the system’s integrity and negates any doubt on the data the system contains.
In an age where Artificial Intelligence can generate realistic fake videos, spurious documents and fantastic claims at having ‘insider information’, the public is cautioned to be more careful in believing such fake news.
