THE National Bureau of Investigation has arrested a man in Pagadian City who reposted an online photo of President Marcos with the word ‘headshot’ superimposed over it.
In a statement on Wednesday, the NBI-Cybercrime Division (NBI-CCD) said it arrested Michael Romero, alias Mike Romero, in Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur, on September 30 and charged him with inciting to sedition and
violation of Republic Act 10175 (Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012).
In a post on Facebook, Romero posted the words ‘Headshot’ superimposed on an image of President Marcos, which was overlaid with a red arrow.
A two-day joint operation by the NBI-CCD and NBI-Pagadian District Office led to the identification of the suspect’s residence.
He admitted that he is the owner of the Facebook account ‘Mike Romero’ and was promptly arrested.
Romero was transported to the NBI-CCD office in Pasay City, where he underwent standard booking procedure.
