MindaNews fact-checked an announcement posted on the Facebook page PRC News and Updates that the Commission on Higher Education is now accepting scholarship applications online. The announcement is fake.“ATTENTION! All Students Senior Highschool, 1st Year, 2nd, 3rd year College Advice to Apply online to be part of CHED SCHOLARSHIP School Year 2024-2025.”
This means not all those who wish to apply may do so like PRC News and Updates implied in the fake announcement.MindaNews Fact Check As independent journalists, our primordial duty is to tell the truth and present facts to help the public discern issues and concerns impacting their lives.– if the claim is based on truth but maliciously twisted that gives a different impression to serve a group or individual’s vested interests.

Tsek.ph did the same thing for the 2022 elections. MindaNews has sustained its operation through proceeds from subscriptions of its news service and sales of books. It also receives grants from non-state actors. Editorial prerogative, however, is left entirely to MindaNews.
