Exclusive - Why Do Filipino Netizens Always Fall For Hoaxes? Find Out Here!

We can't just get enough of hearing about satire sites and hoax information making their way to our social media feeds.

Filipinos are always dubbed as gullible and easy to fool that's why we are the usual targets of these fake sources of news.

Although common sense is normally used to determine fake from authentic data, the chances of being duped seem to be higher for Filipino netizens.

Anything can easily be shared on the internet. With just one click, you are immediately a source of information.

Once you repost something from a fake news site, well, let's just say most of your friends that read it would most likely fall for it and share it as well.
