A misleading article from 2018 with a headline saying consumption of coconut oil can eliminate “93%” of “colon bad cells” in two days has recently been resurrected and shared on social media. It also makes a number of inaccurate claims.
The video in Trending Lahat’s live stream is actually Duterte’s late night “Talk to the Nation” address on COVID-19 aired on April 6.
President Rodrigo Duterte repeated his erroneous claim that the Philippines was the first to impose a “lockdown” in Asia to combat the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
President Rodrigo Duterte made two inaccurate claims about the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in his previous late night speeches: that the novel coronavirus is airborne, and that China has registered the highest death toll.
President Duterte downplayed the gravity of the outbreak and likened the nature of the novel coronavirus to others that are either treatable or have already been contained in a press briefing two months ago.
