In a follow-up post, Jim preached a lesson to the believers of ‘fake news.’
According to him, they all deserve receiving false information as they are easy to buy it. “To believers of fake news, U deserve to be lied to. If anyone can produce a photo of me on the plane or in Bacolod last 9/13, i will give 1M”
The Apo Hiking Society member even added that he will give money, amounting to Php 1 million, to whoever can surface a photo as evidence of him being on that plane or in Bacolod last September 13.
Jim also added, “Pinoy Observer is a FAKE news site. Don’t even visit it. It gives them revenue when you do.”
