BEWARE of stories about robbery incidents in Metro Manila or you may become a victim of “fake news," Philippine National Police (PNP) Director General Oscar Albayalde warned on Wednesday.

"Seemingly, there is somebody here who is spreading disinformation because they want to picture that there's chaos in the area and society, particularly in Quezon City. They are saying that there are simultaneous robbery incidents in the area. We are now saying those robberies are not true. They are fake news," Albayalde told reporters in a mix of English and Filipino.
