A clip with a manipulated audio has racked up millions of views in social media posts that falsely claimed it genuinely showed a controversial Philippine mayor not remembering the archipelago's national anthem during a Senate hearing. The original clip showed a senator quizzing suspended mayor Alice Guo about her birth records following questions around her citizenship.
A Senate panel was also probing allegations Guo was a Chinese citizen trained to spy on the Philippine government, the Philippine Daily Inquirer newspaper"I am a Filipino, and I am not a spy." It then switches to Guo at a Philippine Senate hearing where an offscreen voice could be heard saying:"You tell us that you're not a spy, correct? If you really are a Filipino, sing Lupang Hinirang and Bahay Kubo."
Guo appears to reply to the question by saying:"Ah, your honour, I can't remember that right now. Is it okay if I check first?"Some social media users appeared to believe the false video showed a genuine exchange. "To think she's a mayor. She should know because every Monday, we sing 'Lupang Hinirang' during the flag ceremony," another user said.
To which Guo responded:"Ah, your honour, I can't remember that right now. Is it okay if I check first?"The same exchange about Guo's birth registration could be heard from the 2:06:28 mark of the video of the full hearing https://www.youtube.com/embed/bHNimjTpxd8
