Cebu Government Warns Against Fake Aid Registration Scam
The Cebu Provincial Government has issued a warning about a group calling itself the Cebu People's Movement. Officials state that the organisation's activities could confuse residents and weaken trust in Governor Pamela Baricuatro's administration.
Authorities are urging the public to remain cautious when approached by this group.
The group has been circulating application forms and telling residents they must register to receive government aid during emergencies. Some members claim that only those who sign up will qualify for assistance.
The Cebu Provincial Government has made it clear that no prior registration or membership is required to access aid. Officials emphasised that all assistance programs remain open to eligible residents without such conditions. To avoid misinformation, the government is advising people to confirm details about aid programs directly with authorised offices.
The warning comes as part of efforts to prevent confusion and ensure that residents receive accurate information. Official channels remain the only reliable source for updates on government assistance. The public has been reminded to report any suspicious claims to local authorities.
