A YouTube video falsely claims that Marcos was the first president to give cash incentives to Filipino athletes who have brought honor to the country
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is the first Philippine president in history to provide cash awards to outstanding Filipino athletes. The claim was made in the title of a video posted on August 9 by YouTube channel Pwedelie TV, which Rappler has fact-checked for making false claims. As of writing, the video has over 22,000 views, 723 likes, and 59 comments.OMG HISTORICAL ITO!
Comments on the video also referenced the claim and praised Marcos for being the first to award athletes with cash incentives. Marcos is not the first Philippine president to give out cash incentives to athletes, and he did not make history by doing so as previous presidents followed what was prescribed by law.
