SUMAYAW SI PANG DUTERTE SA OPENING NG SEA GAMES. Nakaka PROUD maging PINOY!

Just about an hour ago as of writing, the SEA Games 2019 has finally opened after 18 months of preparation. This big event, which the Philippines is the host country, was so grand and joyous. Manny Pacquiao started by lighting the cauldron. Dances and introduction of the athletes from 11 countries in South East Asia parade the huge stage of the Philippine Arena.

But what was more awesome was when the parade started with Filipino athletes on stage waving flags with the song Manila by Hotdogs, President Duterte at the top of the bleachers, dances to the tune, while people from the audience singing merrily the Hotdogs song.

Senator Ping Lacson tweeted his Twitter that he was very proud at that very moment in the opening, especially the part when President Duterte danced. He tweeted:

"I'm having goose bumps all over my body while watching the entrance and parade of our Filipino athletes with President Duterte dancing to the tune of the song “Manila” by the Hotdogs. This is a proud, united Philippines at this very moment."

Inquirer, nag post ng fake news

One of the influential print media in the Philippines, Philippine Daily Inquirer, at least in its website, posted a news, November 25, 2019, that was not true at all. In short, it was fake news.

The news was about a report on the upcoming South Asian Games (not the Southeast Asian games), which Philippines is not a participant. The title went 'With just 6 days to go, venues still not ready for South Asian Games in Nepal.' If you search the news title it would still show in Google's search results, but when you click the link, it would redirect to the homepage of the sports section of the website. Obviously the news post was deleted. The news obviously want to deliberately inform the public that the government was irresponsible in handling the SEA Games, showing unfinished structures to be used in upcoming SEA games. The paper has mistaken the SEA games for the South Asian games.

It was the Binan City Information Office that caught the news that was fake. Inquirer.net then apologized for the erratum in its news reporting. The reason why the article was taken down is because of pure embarrassment.
