PHILIPPINE National Police chief General Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar on Tuesday ordered the Anti-Cybercrime Group to coordinate with the Department of Education after the latter sought help in the investigation of cheating allegedly done by students online.

Education Secretary Leonor Briones called for help following reports that students shared answer keys for their respective exams on Facebook.

“Matapos nating marinig ang paghingi ng tulong ni Sec. Liling Briones, kaagad kong inatasan ang aming Anti-Cybercrime Group na makipag-ugnayan sa Department of Education upang alamin kung paano makakatulong ang inyong PNP dito,” Eleazar said.

Briones warned that any form of cheating will not be tolerated.

Eleazar said that the PNP is ready to help the department address the cheating problem.

“Gaya ng ipinapatupad naming reporma sa kapulisan through our Intensified Cleanliness Policy, handa at seryoso ang inyong PNP na tumulong upang sawatain ito sa lalong madaling panahon upang hindi na lumala pa dahil kung sa ganitong estado pa lamang ay talamak na ang dayaan, walang mangyayari sa ating bansa sa kamay ng mga hindi tapat na pag-asa ng bayan,” he added.

“Sa ating mga mag-aaral at kanilang mga magulang, hindi pabilisan at patalinuhan ang tunay na intensiyon ng edukasyon kaya hayaan ninyong matuto kayo sa matapat na paraan and at your own pace. Dahil ayon nga sa lagi nating naririnig na sinasabi ng ating mga guro: Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all,” he said.
