The fake statement even had the same format as that with News5.
It was about PBBM's statement concerning the war on dr&gs, highlighting the beliefs of what can arrest the problem.
The suspect was presented to the media in a video shared by ABS-CBN, wearing sunglasses and a mask to conceal her identity.
Reporters asked if she had financially benefited from spreading false information, to which she admitted earning money but insisted it was only a small amount.
Authorities have yet to disclose the specific charges against the content creator, but the case highlights the government’s efforts to hold accountable those responsible for spreading misleading information online.
The ABS-CBN report also highlighted that there was another content creator who has a standing warrant of arrest.
News, photos or videos that arouse the interest of netizens would often go viral on social media, due to the attention netizens give them. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, such could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable to just about simply everyone.
In news abroad, a four-year-old boy in Wisconsin, USA, got some police officers scrambling after getting a 911 dispatch call. The boy apparently called 911 to report the supposed “bad behavior” of his mom. This prompted Village of Mount Pleasant police officers to pay a visit to the kid’s home. It turned out that the “bad behavior” he reported was about something he thought his mother failed to give him.
Meanwhile, in news back home, Sen. Imee Marcos released an official statement concerning the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte. She is calling for a probe on the arrest and would want to establish whether due process was followed in his arrest. The senator also said that she is inviting key officials and agencies including officials from the PNP, OTS-DOTr and a lot more.
