Ito yung sinasabi nating pwedeng gamitin sa pagkakalat ng fake news. Kasi since itong  machine na ito nag-mimic ng mga cell site. Napapasok nila ang mga cell phone numbers nung mga nasa paligid.

Sasabihin niya mamimigay siya ng ayuda sa isang barangay tapos ang mangayayari magpupuntahan ang mga tao. Hindi naman po darating itong isang kandidato dahil fake news o fake text ang natanggap nila, so masisira yung isang kandidato,” dagdag ni Cruz.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/regions/2025/3/24/16-sim-based-text-blasters-seized-in-tarlac-1428">16 SIM-based text blasters seized in Tarlac<br/></a></div><p>Kakasuhan ang dalawan ng paglabag ng ating immigration laws at maaaring dumaan sa deportation procedures. </p><p>Samantala, patuloy ang babala ng mga otoridad sa publiko lalo’t papalapit na ang halalan.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>IBA PANG ULAT</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BmjWw47pQ6s?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
