The netizens were quick to notice two posted videos on the PCG page with violent content around 1 p.m. Friday.

In a statement, PCG said an "unknown entity" gained access to the Facebook page around 12:30 in the afternoon.

PCG said it was coordinating with  the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) under the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) "to conduct backend operations and assess the security breach."

Netizens shared different reactions on the posted videos. As of 4 p.m, the video garnered more than a hundred comments, mostly saying the page was hacked.

This is the second time that the Facebook page was hacked this year. Last February, the PCG's Facebook Page was also hacked as the Coast Guard Public Affairs (CGPAS) was conducting a strategic communication plan workshop. 

Hackers posted two malicious short videos on the PCG Facebook page, similar to the ones posted today. 

The PCG's website was also among several government websites that were hacked in February, a cyberattack which was traced to a telecom company based in China.
