“Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake news ‘yan.”
This is how President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. described news reports on Thursday regarding the supposed resignation of Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Gilbert Teodoro.
President Marcos said the news about Secretary Teodoro’s alleged resignation was a desperate move to sow confusion in the government.
“Wala naman silang naibibigay, wala silang naitutulong, wala silang kontribusyon sa buhay ng bawat Pilipino kung hindi paninira lamang, kundi panggugulo lamang,” President Marcos said.
“Kaya huwag po natin – kailangan maingat po tayo. Huwag tayo masyadong naniniwala kung wala naming pruweba sa kanilang mga sinasabi,” he added.
President Marcos also laughed off the reports as he recalled his conversation with Teodoro earlier Thursday regarding the supposed resignation.
The President also called on the public not to believe in fake news. He emphasized that the administration is working double time to uplift the lives of the Filipino people.
“Huwag po kayong madala sa ganyan. Patuloy po ang aming trabaho. Hindi po kami titigil. Lahat po ng ating mga kasamahan ay walang ginawa po kung hindi araw-araw paggising hangga’t matulog ay kung papaano tumulong at paano pagandahin ang Pilipinas,” President Marcos said.
“Iyan po ang hangarin ng lahat ng pamahalaan ninyo. Huwag po kayo nadadala sa mga fake news na ganyang klase. Huwag po kayo madadala sa mga ‘yang mga pampagulo na ginagawa nila. Sa amin, hindi na namin pinapansin ‘yan dahil alam namin ‘yung totoo,” he added.
Before concluding the media interview, President Marcos said it is only the government that will announce any changes in his Cabinet. PND
