Metro Manila — The Philippine News Agency (PNA) apologized on Friday after it used the wrong logo for a government agency.
Instead of the Labor department's official logo, the article "DOLE issues pay rules for 2018 holidays" posted on August 11 was instead accompanied by a photo of Dole Food Company.
Hours after the photo was taken down, the news agency published an erratum. They acknowledged that their staff "inadvertently attached the wrong photo rather than the logo of the Department of Labor and Employment."
"It was a careless act on the PNA editorial staff," the erratum read.
"Rest assured appropriate action is being taken in pursuit of the delivery of accurate information to our readers. Our apologies," it added.
However, netizens noticed that the logo was wrong and were quick to share a screenshot of the story online.

It was not the first time the PNA was called out for its mistakes.
The photo has since been taken down from the PNA page and was replaced by the correct logo of the Department of Labor and Employment.
PNA is an agency under Presidential Communications Operations Office headed by Secretary Martin Andanar. Initially launched as teletype newswire service in 1973, PNA eventually became a web-based newswire service in 2003.
With Andanar at the PCOO is Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson, a pro-Duterte blogger who said that she would use her position to spread "correct news" to Filipinos.
