ABS-CBN News</figcaption></figure></div>Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar said he has ordered a probe into the errors found on the IDs, which were distributed to members of the Malacañang Press Corps earlier this month.He said an initial probe revealed that breached protocols resulted in the release of the error-riddled IDs. He said his staff did not show him the backside of the cards, and that the International Press Center (IPC), which handles Palace’s media affairs, did not return the final design for his approval.He also noted that the IPC used an “e-signature” without his permission. He added that the e-signature used was also the wrong one.The Palace’s communications office has been dealing with a string of boo-boos in the past months, the latest of which was the release of a transcript of a radio interview of “PRRD” (President Rodrigo Roa Duterte), who turned out to be just an impersonator.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/08/14/17/3-pna-employees-get-show-cause-orders-over-blunder">Duterte &#x27;impersonator&#x27; backs Bong Go; Palace transcribers think he&#x27;s real Digong</a></li>	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/09/08/17/state-run-news-agency-draws-flak-anew">State-run news agency draws flak anew</a></li>	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/08/14/17/3-pna-employees-get-show-cause-orders-over-blunder">Duterte &#x27;impersonator&#x27; backs Bong Go; Palace transcribers think he&#x27;s real Digong</a></li></ul>
