The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila (RCAM) warned the faithful against the fake Facebook page using the name of Cardinal Jose Advincula.
In an advisory, RCAM stressed the Facebook page “Jose Cardinal Advincula,” is not owned by the new Archbishop of Manila.
“The Archdiocese of Manila and the Archdiocese of Capiz have not yet created any Facebook page or social media accounts under His Eminence’s name,” RCAM Chancellor Fr. Reginald R. Malicdem said. Malicdem said they issued the warning after they got word that some people got invitation to like and follow the said fake Facebook page.
“We have not received any report as of yet about using the account for personal gain. But it’s better to forewarn the public,” Malicdem said. This developed weeks before the scheduled installation of Advincula as the new head of the Archdiocese of Manila on June, 24, 2021.
Malicdem said all official communication on the installation are released by the Chancery of the Archdiocese of Manila through its different social media platforms, namely, the Archdiocesan Office on Communications, TV Maria, Radio Veritas, 500 Years of Christianity Archdiocese of Manila, and The Manila Cathedral.
