CLAIM: Nageendorso ng online casino app para matulungan ang mga mahihirap ang dating boksingero at senador na si Manny Pacquiao.
RATING: HINDI TOTOO
Isang serye ng pekeng advertisements ang kumakalat sa Facebook kung saan pinapakita ang dating senador at retiradong boksingero na si Manny Pacquiao na nagpo-promote ng iba’t ibang online casino at gambling apps.
Naglalaman ang ad ng manipuladong video ni Pacquiao kung saan pineke ang interview nito kasama si Boy Abunda.
Sa video, pinagmukha na sinabi ni Pacquiao na gusto niyang tulungan ang mga mahihirap na indibidwal sa pamamagitan ng pagpusta sa kanyang online casino app.
Ang app ay di umano’y nag-aalok ng “mataas na premyo” at “magandang tiyansa” para sa mga Pilipinong manlalaro, habang hinihikayat silang magrehistro at magdeposito ng tunay na pera para sa pagsusugal.
Ang orihinal na video ay mula pa sa one-on-one interview ni Abunda kay Pacquiao noong panahon ng kanyang kampanya sa pagkapangulo. Walang nabanggit at inalok na kahit na anong online gambling app sa naturang interview.
Gayunpaman, nakapag endorso na si Pacquiao ng dalawang gambling site hanggang ngayon. Ipinromote niya ang Mansion 88 noong 2022 at kasalukuyang ka-partner ang BK8. Hurt Allauigan (Translated by: Mery-anne Alejandre)
