Kapuso news anchor Arnold Clavio slammed some fabricated quotes attributed to foreign personalities praising President Rodrigo Duterte.
On his Instagram account, Arnold Clavio posted a photo of fake citation of Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain praising Duterte. “Ang dami talagang oras ng iba. Sana huwag ninyo naman sayangin ang oras para magbuhat ng bangko o purihin ang sarili ninyo.”
Clavio also explained that others are sacrificing their lives for COVID-19, so fake news outlets should instead support frontliners by donating the money they raise in return for spreading false information.
“Halos lahat ay nagsasakripisyo para labanan ang COVID-19. Sa mga gumagawa nito na wala namang naitutulong sa nakararami, ibahagi ninyo sana ang bayad sa inyo para maipambili ng mga PPEs at n95 masks ng mga frontliner.”
Lastly, Clavio reminded everyone to stop spreading fake news and just follow quarantine guidelines.
“Mga ‘iGan, huwag na nating ikalat pa ito. Wala itong puwang sa panahon ngayon. #staysafe #stayhome

Ang funnykasi yung mga reported as fake news na statement daw ni Hemrione Granger na anak ni Queen Elizabeth ay memes lang naman talaga at mockery sa mga DDS supporters na madaling maniwala. Pero since naniniwala sila, ayan fake news na siya. HAHAHA.
