A website posing as ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) published a report on a product that allegedly treats two eye conditions without surgery. Cardiologist Dr. Willie Ong supposedly developed the cure.
It also featured video snippets of a celebrity dermatologist and vlogger-doctors to suggest they are endorsing Hairtech.
A Facebook (FB) page used a YouTube video of popular physician Doc Willie Ong to promote a product for stomach pain said to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Not true. The product is not FDA-certified as claimed. Nor is it being endorsed by Ong.
A Facebook page has again used the name and face of Dr. Willie Ong, this time, to promote a hemorrhoid cream. It is bogus marketing.
A video is misleading people by implying that President Bongbong Marcos has appointed cardiologist Dr. Willie Ong as Health secretary.
Dr Liza Ramoso-Ong, wife of vice president candidate Doc Willie Ong, denied this in a phone call with VERA Files Fact Check.
Before and after the dubious video was posted on Aug. 19, President Rodrigo Duterte had declared full support for Duque amid calls for his resignation. During his weekly briefing on Monday night (Aug. 23), the president reiterated he would not ask his health secretary to quit, but would accept his resignation if he did so voluntarily. There has been no word from Duque since.
