MANILA, Philippines — The YouTube account of state-owned media outlet People’s Television Network (PTV) was hacked on Tuesday.

PTV PH’s official YouTube account has been compromised and was renamed to “Tesla Live” in the afternoon of May 2, 2023. PTV is currently taking all necessary measures to recover the account and is contacting YouTube to resolve this matter,” it said in a Facebook post Tuesday afternoon.
