Malacañang has branded as fake news the Facebook location tag that described the Philippines as a supposed province of China.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque asked Facebook’s local fact-checkers Rappler and Vera Files to take action to prevent the spread of the false information.

Roque nonetheless questioned why such false information slipped past the monitoring of the “alleged truth verifiers” of Facebook. Reacting to Roque’s statement, Vera Files issued a statement clarifying it does not fact-check location tags. “The Facebook tag of the Philippines as a province of China is a reflection of a sovereignty issue with China which should be addressed by the Philippine leadership,” she added.
