He also urged the public to "be morally upright at home, in school, and at work," stressing the social responsibility of every Filipino.

The event included an oath-taking ceremony where MMSU and other partners pledged their commitment to combating fake news.

Also present at the ceremony were GMA Network President and CEO Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr., Executive Vice President and CFO Felipe S. Yalong, and other executives, department heads, and representatives from state universities and colleges across the country.
