Fake: Due to "widespread drug sales" in schools, the Philippine National Police (PNP) has decided to conduct
random drug tests in these institutions.

Real: The Department of Education (DepEd) and school officials are the ones allowed to conduct these tests in
schools, not the police. The blog got the video news report wrong and it erred in failing to mention that what
the report mentioned is a Quezon City ordinance on drug testing in schools within its jurisdiction. According to
the TV Patrol report, the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) suggested a surprise inspection of
students’ bags and lockers for drugs, but DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones opposed this because it violates the
students' right to privacy. NCRPO Chief Superintendent Guillermo Eleazar said in an Inquirer report that the
police will not be involved in the surprise inspections, and it is DepEd’s call if the suggestion will be pursued or
not. The TV Patrol report then cited on Quezon City Ordinance No. 2615, s-2017 which mandated random
drug tests in the city's public secondary schools. There are some conflicting reports regarding what education
levels are covered in the QC drug test ordinance. The title of the ordinance specifies that the random drug
tests will be for "students of public secondary, tertiary, vocational, and technical schools." A June 13 ABS-CBN
News report said that it will cover elementary to high school students. Meanwhile, in a June 15 GMA News
report with a video from Unang Balita, Quezon City Vice Mayor Ma Josefina Belmonte clarified that the
ordinance will cover high school and college students or “older students.”

Fake: troubled actor(Barron Geisler) has passed away. In a tweet by netizen John Paul Caunan
(@JOPETcaunan), he shared and pointed out a photo of Geisler accompanied by a headline saying he’s dead.

Real: The netizen said he checked the site and saw it was not legitimate. In another tweet, he asked fellow
netizens not to spread fake news: “Taon taon pinapatay si Baron Geisler ng mga Fake News.” (Every year
Baron Geisler gets killed by fake news.) Ironically, as rumors about his death circulated, Geisler actually
celebrated his 36th birthday yesterday, June 5.
