The fake post was full of manipulations: a clip of Sen. Raffy Tulfo was made to look like he was reading the report, a photo of Ong was altered to brandish a bruise on his face, and a clip of a scuffle in India six years ago was used as footage of the supposed brawl.

A “news report” with 3.4 million views on Facebook (FB) that claims cardiologist Willie Ong was physically attacked during a live television show is fake. This is a modus operandi to sell a product.

The 38-second clip posted on Oct. 17 bore a logo of CNN Philippines and the headline:

CNN Philippines published no such story.

The fake post was full of manipulations: a clip of Sen. Raffy Tulfo was made to look like he was reading the report, a photo of Ong was altered to brandish a bruise on his face, and a clip of a scuffle in India six years ago was used as footage of the supposed brawl.

Tulfo’s clip was from a June 11, 2019 episode of his show Raffy Tulfo in Action. A different audio file that sounds like him was used to replace the original.
Meanwhile, Ong’s photo is a screenshot from CNN Philippines’ April 1, 2019, senatorial debates. It was doctored to make it seem he had a black eye.

MANILA, Philippines – Pump prices of petroleum products are set to decrease on Tuesday, October 10, as the global market anticipates a slump in demand.

In separate advisories on Monday, October 9, Seaoil, Petro Gazz, and Cleanfuel announced a decrease of P2.45 per liter for diesel and P3.05 for gasoline.

Seaoil announced a P3 per liter reduction for kerosene.

While the big-time oil price rollback would benefit consumers, figures from the Department of Energy showed a year-to-date double-digit net increase in petroleum products. Since the start of the year, gasoline prices increased by a total of P15.30 per liter, diesel by P13.80, and kerosene by P8.94.

Amid elevated prices, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board recently approved a P1 fare hike. The increase will raise the minimum fares of traditional jeepneys from P12 to P13, and modern jeepneys from P14 to P15.
