Nag post ang dating brodkaster na si Jay Sonza, isang Facebook (FB) user, at isang FB page ng dinoktor na litrato ng dolomite beach ng Manila Bay na ilang ulit nang pinasinungalingan ng mga fact-checker.
Former broadcaster Jay Sonza, a Facebook (FB) user, and an FB page posted a manipulated photo of Manila Bay’s dolomite beach that has been debunked several times by fact-checkers.
A sea vessel, two excavators, and other tools used for the rehabilitation of the bay were also edited out of the original image and digitally covered with sand.
Some people in government have become experts in squandering public funds even as the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic continues to make life miserable for more Filipinos.
Dalawampu't isang taon mula nang dumulog ang isang grupo ng mga residente sa husgado dahil sa lumalalang estado ng Manila Bay, marami pa ang kailangan gawin upang makumpleto ang rehabilitasyon nito.
Twenty-one years since a group of residents brought to court the deteriorating state of Manila Bay, much remains to be done to complete its rehabilitation.
The post misleads with its budget figures of the on-going Manila Bay rehabilitation and recent government projects.These figures are inaccurate and need context.
The budget for the ‘entire’ Manila Bay rehabilitation is P47 billion, not P389 million.
This is the fifth time this year that was used to mislead people.
The photo used was shot following a powerful typhoon in 2018.
