Quad comm chairman Surigao del Norte Rep. Robert Ace Barbers wrote to NBI Director Jaime Santiago on Nov. 25, requesting a probe of the "deliberate disinformation drive by the seemingly organized vloggers" that have been peddling lies in social media platforms.

He asked Santiago to help quad comm investigate and determine the identity of the persons or groups responsible for creating and posting "damaging and misleading vlogs."
