Claim: The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) is now accepting applications for various positions for its 2025 nationwide recruitment. A Facebook post includes a link to the application site.
Rating: FALSE
Why we fact-checked this: The Facebook post containing the claim has 308 shares, 115 comments, and 354 reactions as of writing.
The January 25 post says the Coast Guard is hiring PCG officers, non-officers, and office staff. It claims to offer a monthly salary of P46,800. The post also includes a general list of qualifications for the three vacancies.
The post adds: “Be one of us. Be part of PCG 2025. Apply now and secure your slot.” This is followed by what appears to be an application link.
The facts: The PCG’s recruitment drive for 2025 has not yet begun, as clarified by the human resources unit of the Coast Guard in a Facebook post on January 24.
“The PCG recruitment for 2025 has not yet commenced. We will announce through our official channels once the process begins,” the Coast Guard Human Resource Management Command (CGHRMC) said.
It added that the agency does not require any form of payment during the application process. Any claims of required payments for the application process should be reported as fraudulent, the CGHRMC said.
Earlier this month, PCG released a warning on Facebook that only its official pages named Philippine Coast Guard and Coast Guard Human Resource Management Command are authorized to post updates regarding nationwide recruitment.
“Any recruitment post from other Facebook pages will be considered fake news,” the warning reads in Filipino.
Fake link: Using Bitly Link Checker, Rappler found that the supposed application link leads to an e-commerce website, not the official website of the PCG or any official government website. (READ: Phishing 101: How to spot and avoid phishing)
