May nakita po akong FB page ng isang kamara de representante na nag-e-endorse ng gamot. Hindi po verified yung FB page pero mukha pong legit page ito ni QC D4 representative Jesus Bong Suntay na ginagamit nya para sa mga posts tungkol sa kanyang mga programa. May mga posts po sya na ibinibida ang isang gamot para sa gout na mabibili raw online. Aminado rin po sya na hindi registered sa FDA itong gamot pero pino-promote pa rin nya.

Fake kasi ung post na yan, and AI-generated sya.

Hindi po mukhang AI generated yang mga videos at posts dyan. Yung FB page ay ginagamit din sa mga political posts. Naka-tag din po yang account na yan sa mga posts nung anak nya na konsehal na si Migs Suntay. Verified po yung FB page na yun ni Migs kaya tingin ko po sa kanya talaga yan.

Hindi lang naman ito political issue. Ang pagkakaintindi ko sa RLife, kasama rin ang health. Tungkol sa gamot itong post ni Bong Suntay kaya tingin ko pwede rin ito rito.
