They are saying that there are simultaneous robbery incidents in the area. They are fake news,” Albayalde told reporters in a mix of English and Filipino. Albayalde said that spreading misinformation was not new to him, especially in the age of social media. “In this age, days and age of fake news, the only thing you will hear from PNP are only real information because the truth is also freedom,” he said.
