A retired military man is facing cybercrime charges for using an image of Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen.

- MARK ERNEST VILLEZA

Benjamin Acorda Jr. in his vlog about an alleged ouster plot against President Marcos that went viral.

PNP public information office chief Col. Jean Fajardo said at a press briefing yesterday in Camp Crame that Acorda had already filed a complaint with the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office against vlogger Johnny Lacsamana Macanas Sr. for dissemination of false information using a photo of the PNP chief in a viral vlog regarding an alleged destabilization plot by disgruntled military officers and personnel.

Fajardo said the vlogger is a retired AFP member, but it was not immediately clear what his rank in the military was.

“We expect that the prosecutor’s office will send summons to the accused to give him time to respond to the complaint,” Fajardo said in Filipino.
