A video advisory supposedly from popular comedian and television host Vice Ganda warning the public against voting for reelectionist representative Lordan Suan of Cagayan de Oro City’s first congressional district is circulating on Facebook. This is fabricated.
Uploaded on May 3, the 11-second clip bore a text overlay and a picture of Suan with a description that reads, respectively:
“MAG-INGAT SA BUAYA THIS MAY 12 SINO SIYA (VICE GANDA ADVISORY)
BEWARE OF THE CROCODILE THIS MAY 12 WHO IS IT? (VICE GANDA ADVISORY)”
“ATTY. LORDAN SUAN
QUADCOMM/IMPEACHMENT MEMBER”
It carried the same text in the caption, with a disclaimer: “NO VIOLENCE AGAINST POLITICS.”
Vice Ganda has never published a statement or video about the congressman on any of her official social media accounts.
The fake clip used and edited the comedian’s May 3 video endorsement of former Interior secretary and now senatorial candidate Benjamin “Benhur” Abalos Jr.
