Former newscaster and the ‘Fake News King’ of social media Jay Sonza spread fake news against Vice President Leni Robredo once again!
On January 12, in a now-deleted post, Sonza called out Robredo via his personal Facebook account for allegedly using used paint drums as water containers for the ‘Project H2O: Help To Others’.
Sonza shared a photo of the water containers and claimed that these contain Lead, which is harmful to humans, and blamed Robredo for initiating such a project.

However, Sonza’s claims are wrong because the containers shown are water filters turned over by the UP College of Medicine and Physicians for Peace – the Philippines to the Office of the Vice President in 2017.
Those water filters were then sent to Marawi by the OVP as relief for the siege victims.
UP Diliman Professor and Physician Gideon Lasco pointed out how unacceptable it is that Sonza discredited the efforts of medical students to help in the project.
Jay Sonza needs a filter for his foul mouth. His disparaging these medical students' noble project is unacceptable. https://t.co/pWGqTmZUqi

@rryyyaaaannnn believes that Sonza should be sued for his rampant spreading of false information online.
Hindi pa rin talaga paawat si Jayo Sonza sa pagsisinungaling. Garapalan na eh. Ang dapat talaga dito bigyan ng leksyon- KASUHAN NA dahil hindi ito titigil hangga’t puro call out lang. pic.twitter.com/ByN3eY2pD9

The Mu Sigma Phi Fraternity, the in-charge of the project, disproved Sonza’s claims and clarified that the containers are food-grade, safe for use, and do not contain toxic materials.

Mu Sigma Phi Fraternity also added that ‘Project H2O’ adheres to standard safety rules and processes in making potable water filtration systems.
Sonza has spread numerous malicious, fake statements already.
Just recently, he also claimed that the daughters of Robredo have skipped quarantine as they return to the country after their vacation in the USA.
Robredo has disaffirmed this claim of Sonza and clarified that her daughters strictly followed the quarantine procedures before going home.
Sonza is an open supporter of the Presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos and a solid antagonist of Robredo.
