A newly created Facebook (FB) page is claiming that reelectionist Sen. Bong Go, who is leading the senatorial race, will provide P5,000 ayuda to those who voted for him in the May 12 midterm elections. This is fake.
Published on May 13, the first copy of the bogus post bore a graphic with a photo of Go and text overlay that read:
“Maraming Salamat Po Sa Suporta!
‘Sa Lahat Ng Nag-Boto Sa Akin Bibigyan Ko Ng Ayuda Na P5K Basahing Maigi Ang Post Namin Kung Paano Ka Maka-Register at MakaKuha.’
P5,000.00 Ayuda Para Sa Lahat.
Mag-Message Sa Akin Para Mabilis Mabigyan.
(Thank you very much for the support!
‘To everyone who voted for me, I will give P5,000 in aid. Read our post carefully to find out how you can register and receive it.
P5,000.00 Aid for Everyone.
Message me so you can receive it faster.)”
The earliest version, along with two other FB posts, also carried the caption that read:
“Malasakit Center Cash Assistance
Para Sa Lahat Magregister Dito:
Lahat Ng Mag-Reregister Online ay Mayrong P5K Bawat Isa.
Para mabilis makakuha, Mag-Message po sa amin.
Maraming Salamat Sa Pagsuporta

Go, the principal author and sponsor of Republic Act No. 11463, or the Malasakit Centers Act of 2019, has made no announcement about the supposed cash assistance on his official Facebook page, website or in any public communication channels.
