On April 7, Director Darryl Yap blamed politics for the warning on his Facebook page, VinCentiments.
Netizens were shocked to see a warning on his VinCentiments Facebook page.
“This Page has shared posts that violate our Community Standards. Review posts on this page before liking it.”
According to his statement with PEP.ph’s Cabinet Files, Yap believed politics to be the cause of the FB community standard warning on VinCentiments’ page.
“Pulitika po ‘yan. November 2021 pa lang, may ganyan na kami [warning from Facebook] pero ngayon lang sila nag-post at gumawa ng kuwento.”
He then explained that the official cause for the warning on his Facebook page was because of nudity.
“Yung sa akin po na may violation about nudity, kahit hindi po ako pabor, wala naman po akong magagawa sa Facebook.”
He also refuted claims that the page of the independent theater group SaWakas received a FB community standard warning because of fake news.
“Pero yung mag-iimbento sila na tungkol sa fake news ang dahilan, sila po ang fake news.”
Being a Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos supporter, he also took a jab against opposing candidates in his statement.
“Nakakatawa lang po na desperado na talaga ang mga tao na hindi makagawa ng pantapat na istorya sa Lenlen kaya gumagawa na lang ng istorya laban sa VinCentiments page at sa akin.”
He then expressed his message to people spreading claims about his page getting a warning because of fake news.
“Sana content vs content [ang labanan] at huwag silang obvious na iyakin.
“Mag-pretend muna sila ngayon na strong dahil sa May 9 pa matatalo ang kanilang kandidato.”
Earlier, the director received a warning from PRC Butuan through Diana Demmel about peddling Fake News.
