Did you know that Fake News and Misleading Information is illegal in the Philippines, and this Facebook Group related to Philippine TV and Radio is posting these, done by a number of hoaxers, peddlers and anonymous people? DRPS PHCA will investigate this Facebook Group named "Philippines Radio/TV Transmitter, Studio, Tower. Antenna" and what are the posts are definitely not true. 1. Death Hoax Posts published by the name of "Jonel"If you might not know about this name "Jonel", was known for posting false news, contents pertaining to "White Jeans", and even worse, death hoaxes, which are published on any Facebook Groups related to Philippine TV and Radio. This has been criticized by Jose Sison, when "Jonel" posted a death hoax against him. OUR VERDICT IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE. To date, most of the personalities and celebrities affected by death hoax led by "Jonel" are still alive. For the part that most of the ABS-CBN TV Series, including TVJ Productions' E.A.T. are airing on a number of channels that "Jonel" mentioned, is also false. To date, FPJ's Batang Quiapo, Pira-Pirasong Paraiso and Nag-Aapoy na Damdamin are airing on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, TV5, and Cinemo! (for FPJ's Batang Quiapo) as well as on iWantTFC and TFC IPTV. For E.A.T., this is only airing on TV5 and BuKo (delayed telecast), as of August 18, 2023. Any claims that these shows are on ABS-CBN or GMA's DTV Channels are false. 2. Use of "Audiovisual Communicators" for hoaxing an AM Radio Station, done by the name of "Justine" and "Bertrand"As you may know, Audiovisual Communicators, Inc. is the sole owner and operator behind all of the five Monster Radio FM Stations, including it's flagship, Monster RX 93.1. However, the claims regarding an AM Radio Station that was owned by that company was false - these were done by none other than the names of "Justine" and "Bertrand". Apart from that, the pages posted an aircheck from a different AM Radio Station, with their post's captioned "1494 KHz owned by ACI", in which the 1494 KHz in Metro Manila is currently broadcasting DWSS-AM Entertainment Radio, which was owned by Supreme Broadcasting System, including a number of affected AM Radio Stations in Metro Manila that claimed to be owned by them. Most of the names are operating their own respective Facebook Pages using the broadcaster's name and logo, which are trademarked by the company. If you also searched "ACI" on YouTube, you will see that they are using the company's name and logo, which they are obviously an impersonation of a company, or infringing the trademark/s of Monster Radio, the broadcaster, and it's materials. OUR VERDICT IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE, especially on the claims that 1494 KHz is owned by that company. If you are listening 1494 KHz on the AM Radio, you are listening Entertainment Radio that was owned by SBS, and not a random name using ACI's name. 3. Speculations on the return of ABS-CBN by September 2023 - FALSE!We have recently seen numerous posts published by the name of "Jeepoy" that ABS-CBN will return the airwaves back by September 12, as well as claiming that Jeff Oli Gar TV was the CEO of the company. That claim is ABSOLUTELY FALSE AND MISLEADING. ABS-CBN Shows can still be enjoyed thru on-air - A2Z and TV5 are the blocktimers of the said media company, with Knowledge Channel and Kroma Entertainment-led PIE Channel can also enjoy their interactive programming thru BEAM TV, apart from their in-house Cable TV Channels by Creative Programs, Inc. - Kapamilya Channel, ABS-CBN News Channel, Teleradyo Serbisyo, Cinemo! and Jeepney TV. 4. Obviously using NET25, EBC and among others as a Regional Station - ALSO FALSE!In case you don't know, Eagle Broadcasting Corporation owned and operated NET25 (the Analog RF 25 in Manila and it's four DTV Stations), Eagle FM, and Radyo Agila. But if in the case of the name of "Michael", he posted fake airchecks of NET25, claiming that they have a regional analog and/or digital TV station, which is not true. Apart from that, "Michael" claimed that EBC will launch more FM Radio Stations in some areas that what he have mentioned, as well as airing reruns of ABS-CBN's Public Service Regional Shows on NET25's Regional Channels (apart from NET25's main programming and it's newscast, Mata Ng Agila) that he obviously hoaxed it, including a rebrand of UNTV to "FBC" which will never have one right now. That's a real example of FAKE NEWS on Philippine TV and Radio updates. ALL OF THESE HAVE A VERDICT OF FALSE. 5. Fake IBC 13 Schedules done by "Renzo"Have you ever heard about the one who made a fake art card of IBC 13's schedule? You read that right, it's no other than the name of "Renzo"! Because IBC 13 is a government-owned TV Station, then why Renzo fakes their schedule and claiming that their programming will include those from TV5, which he also claimed that the station will blocktime that network. OUR VERDICT: The schedule published from official IBC 13 pages are true, BUT ANY POSTS PUBLISHED ON "RENZO's" CHANNEL ARE FALSE. The only fact is, IBC 13's shows include Presidential Programming, Simulcast Programs from PTV 4, the other Government broadcaster, ASEAN-related programming, and it's own newscast, Tutok 13. 6. El Shaddai and Ang Iglesia ni Cristo on TV5? THAT'S FALSE AND MISLEADING!As you may know, El Shaddai is a religious TV program aired on IBC 13 and Ang Iglesia ni Cristo is also a religious TV show aired on INCTV. But there are claims that "Laemon" said that El Shaddai and Ang Iglesia ni Cristo is also on TV5, as well as faking a TV Schedule, claiming that Ang Iglesia ni Cristo was on that falsified schedule, including a claim that Eat Bulaga! was rebranded to "All-Out Bulaga" and "Wow Bulaga" and falsified the GMA's program schedule art cards that has been criticized by Solid Kapuso Latest Updates. OUR VERDICT: "Ang Iglesia ni Cristo" and "El Shaddai" are not airing on TV5, while TAPE's Eat Bulaga on GMA will NOT BE REBRANDED to "Wow Bulaga" and "All-Out Bulaga". Any schedule artcards of TV5 and GMA that has been falsified by "Laemon" are also false and misleading.
