Which website do you consult? So, pagka ganito, basta’t sinabi na, the SILG will make the announcement and that is what… Wala nang fake news. Iyon na ‘yung katotohanan. Iyon na ‘yung totoo,” Marcos Jr. told reporters.</p><p>When asked if he would advise Remulla to keep announcements professional instead of playful, Marcos Jr. said that what is important is that “he gets the message across.”</p><p>“As long as he gets the message across, that&#x27;s what it&#x27;s for. That&#x27;s what all of these postings are for and get some information across, and as long as he achieves that, then he manages to do what he sets out to do,” he said.</p><p>“I am not exactly a judge of – how do you say? -- literary style. I don&#x27;t know how you want to put it. So that’s really… I have to consider that out of my purview,” he added.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO</strong></div><div><br/></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/jknYXTMMRw0??si=YWsfqagp6EoGUr5X&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
