THE Securities and Exchange Commission said the public should watch out entities using the logo of the agency in their social media accounts.
The SEC said the agency has only one account for each social media platform – facebook, twitter, youtube – and a website: www.sec.gov.ph.
“Be informed further that the SEC logo as appearing, is duly registered with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines on April 2016 as signed by its chair and the Office of the President. Except from the above-mentioned official links, the Commission has not recognized/authorized any affiliates nor endorsed any social media account to use its official SEC logo,” it said.
“Thus, the Commission warns the public that the SEC official logo is a property of the Commission and all rights pertaining thereto belongs to the Commission. Any unauthorized use or appropriation for business or personal exploitation thereof by individuals or entities without written permission, endorsement or approval by the Commission shall be severely dealt with by law and may incur criminal liability or otherwise sanctioned or penalized accordingly,” it added.
