“Di ba sa sa social media maraming fake news, andaming maling impormasyon na ‘yung iba sinasadya nila… trabaho nila ‘yong nagpapalaganap ng fake news,” Vice elaborated.
The contestant began her answer by saying that she would feel sad and disappointed and then try to correct her boyfriend in a way that he wouldn’t feel disrespected.
“Ang gagawin ko i-aaproach ko muna siya, sabihin ko muna yung mga bagay-bagay na hindi tama, at kung may gusto man po siyang i-clear bago niya i-post yung mga fake news na sasabihin niya sa social media, sasabihin ko po yung mga tamang paraan, o iko-correct ko siya in a way na hindi ko siya madi-disrespect,” the contestant said.
Vhong then asked what would she say or do if her boyfriend tells her that it’s his work and he earns from it.
“Work niya po yun, ire-respect ko po siya. Pero yun nga, kailangan ko pa ring i-guide siya sa mga tamang words dapat respectful pa rin,” the contestant answered.
Vice then asked if she would still respect those who are considered purveyors of fake news.
“I mean yung work niya po, yung work niya lang. I-respect ko yung work niya dahil yun yung pinasukan niyang work, pero ako as a girlfriend niya, kung gusto niya ng impormasyon, mas iga-guide ko pa po siya sa correct na words na gagamitin niya kahit fake news pa yan, basta respect po sa mga tao,” the contestant answered.
Towards the end of their interaction, Vice said it is the contestant’s opinion and they could not do anything about it.
He then proceeded to advice everyone that spreading fake news, particularly if one knows it to be fake, is not right.
“Pero, siyempre kailangan natin ibigay ang mensahe natin sa mga tao na nakapapanood nito na kailanman ay hindi magiging tama ang pagpapalaganap ng fake news, dahil ginugulo nito ang mundo,…nagpapalaganap kayo ng muhi. Mas maganda kung mga tama ang nalalaman natin, hindi mali” Vice said.
He also asked the audience to check their sources of information to ensure what they’re getting is not fake news.
“Doon tayo sa mga totoong sources, legitimate sources… katulad ng ABS-CBN News, GMA News. Basta yung legit. Sakto. Qag tayo sa kulang, dun tayo sa sakto,” Vice said.
Fake news on social media has become very rampant, particularly during this time where campaign for the 2022 elections has reached fever pitch.
Fact checking has become the norm for some, yet many still fall victim to fake news.
Vice Ganda is a famous comedian, actor, endorser, and host in the Philippines. He is best known for hosting “It’s Showtime” and for his commercially successful movies in the MMFF. The superstar is currently in a relationship with Ion Perez.
Vice Ganda is known not only for his witty political views and jokes but also for his generosity. In one of the episodes of his vlog, Vice went to a apothecary and paid for all the medicine purchases of customers. Many customers were pleasantly surprised.
He was also spotted helping an old man in Tarlac. It is worth noting that Vice Ganda and his friends recently visited the Monasterio de Tarlac, a monastery in the area. During their time there, they stumbled upon an old man who was performing which Vice immediately listened to. Aside from this, the 'Unkabogable Star' also extended his help to the old man in his own little way.
