Actress Pinky Amador posted a satirical video urging the public to be critical of information and avoid spreading fake news, using the food brand 'Ka Tunying' as a playful prop.
In the clip, Amador jokingly states she was going to buy 'fake news' while pointing to a 'Ka Tunying' kiosk, an establishment owned by broadcaster Anthony 'Ka Tunying' Taberna.
Amador's post was accompanied by a caption emphasizing the importance of discerning information and the dangers of misinformation, using hashtags like #Satire and #LabanSaFakeNews.
Taberna recently faced scrutiny when his past endorsements for an insurance company connected to controversial contractors Sarah and Curlee Discaya resurfaced.
The insurance firm, Stronghold Insurance Company Inc., stated it was unaware of the contracts between the contractors and the government and denied any affiliation with the Discaya couple.
Anthony Taberna responded to Amador's video by clarifying that there is no fake news sold at his stores, instead promoting his rice crackers and thanking customers for patronizing 'faith news'.
