Surigao del Norte Rep. Robert Ace Barbers asked the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to investigate the vloggers and other content creators who were allegedly spreading propaganda against him, his family, and members of the House Quad Committee.
In a statement, Barbers said that the said content creators were being funded by illegal organizations who were being subjected to investigation by the lower house.
He also cited the contents targeting his brother, Surigao del Norte Gov. Lyndon Barbers.
“It’s very obvious that these paid and well-organized vloggers want to destroy me, my brother and quad comm members. They’re said to be hired groups who spread lies. It’s probably because their bosses, who are POGO operators and dr-g lords, have been hit because of the quad comm investigations,” said Barbers.
It can be recalled that Barbers and other members of the Quad Committee were facing criticisms for investigating Vice President Sara Duterte, and former President Rodrigo Duterte.
