t a glance:
Claim: Online registration is available to be eligible for P4,000-financial aid from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). Those who share the link to the registration form will also get P5,000 from GCash.
Rating: FALSE
The facts: The Facebook page and website that posted the claim are not affiliated with DSWD. Also, only individuals from low-income families are eligible for the government’s P1,000 (or up to P4,000 per family) worth of cash or “in-kind.”
Why we fact-checked this: The Facebook page and website are posing as government agencies, which could deceive people into giving their personal information. Facebook’s monitoring tool also flagged the links for containing potentially dubious information.
