PNP to help DepEd probe online cheating

MANILA – Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Guillermo Eleazar on Tuesday ordered the AntiCybercrime Group (ACG) to coordinate with the Department of Education (DepEd) on reports of cheating allegedly done by students online amid the distance learning scheme.

This, after DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones sought the assistance of the authorities to investigate the “online kopyahan.”

“Matapos nating marinig ang paghingi ng tulong ni Secretary Liling Briones, kaagad kong inatasan ang aming Anti-Cybercrime Group na makipagugnayan sa Department of Education upang alamin kung paano makakatulong ang inyong PNP dito (After hearing Secretary Liling Briones' call for help, I immediately ordered our Anti-Cybercrime Group to coordination with the DepEd to determine how the PNP can help)," Eleazar said in a statement.
