“Ipinapaalam sa publiko na walang programang cash assistance ang Office of the Vice President o si Vice President Sara Duterte,” the OVP said in a statement. 

“Huwag magbigay ng personal na impormasyon dahil ito ay scam,” they said.

Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding such scams to report immediately. 

“Kung kayo ay may impormasyon hinggil dito, ipagbigay alam agad sa mga awtoridad. Maraming salamat,” the statement added.
