MANILA, Philippines — Reports of two Filipinos arrested in Dubai for allegedly recording and posting videos of security incidents and attacks are being investigated by the Philippine diplomatic missions in the United Arab Emirates.
In a statement yesterday, the Philippine embassy in Abu Dhabi and the consulate general in Dubai said they are asking UAE officials for confirmation about the reports.
“The Philippine embassy and consulate general respect the sovereignty of the United Arab Emirates and its right to enforce its national security, cybercrime and public order laws,” the diplomatic mission stations said.
“UAE authorities have publicly reminded the public that publishing or sharing misleading or fabricated security-related content, including videos of air defense interceptions, attacks on landmarks, or AI-generated false footage, is a criminal offense punishable by imprisonment and substantial fines,” it added.
