MANILA — The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Wednesday ordered the National Bureau of Investigation to probe the spread of fake obscene photos of the daughters of Vice President Leni Robredo.
Justice Sec Menardo Guevarra has ordered the NBI to probe obscene photos allegedly of daughters of VP Leni Robredo circulating online. Says offenders could face possible gender-based sexual harassment under the Safe Spaces Act.
"I had ordered the NBI to investigate the existence [on] the internet of certain obscene photos of allegedly the vice-president’s daughters even before they formally requested the NBI’s assistance," Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said.
"The cybercrime division is now working on it," he added.
Guevarra said he also directed the NBI to file the appropriate charges, if warranted by the evidence, against those who may be found responsible for the "malicious acts."

Offenders could face possible gender-based sexual harassment under the Safe Spaces Act, Menardo said.
The daughters of presidential candidate Robredo, Aika and Tricia, had sought the assistance of the NBI to investigate the alleged lewd videos using their names.
The spread of the fake images came as election season reached homestretch, with the vice president gaining support from various civil society and education groups.
