San Fernando, Cam Sur’s first lady Michelle Mabulo takes a swipe at Rappler
POLITIKO - The bible of Philippine Politics.
San Fernando, Camarines Sur’s first lady Michelle Mabulo was not happy about the website Rappler’s report on the World Bank’s growth outlook for the Philippines.
In a Facebook post, Mabulo branded Rappler as “fake news” for its story headlined “World Bank cuts 2019 Philippine growth outlook again.”
She contrasted this with a report from the Philippine News Agency on the World Bank statement, which was headlined “World Bank sees PH GDP growth at 6.4% in 2019.”
In her post, she said Rappler, whose officers are facing tax cases, deserved what it has now.
The World Bank and the PNA had a positive outlook on the economy, but she claimed Rappler “distorted” the news.
A commenter, though, pointed out that the World Bank’s outlook on the Philippines’ GDP did go down from 6.5 %in December 2018 to 6.4% now.
Mabulo replied that she still found the Rappler headline “misleading.”
Is the PNA, which has had its own share of blunders, more reliable than Rappler?
“Rappler you are really a FAKE NEWS all the time. You deserve what you have now.
World bank , Philippine News Agency has positive result of the economy. And you Rappler? Is based on World bank? different ang headlines? You distort the news,” Mabulo posted.
