🇵🇭 A video appears to show a Filipino physician promoting a food supplement that 'treats cancer' or 'abnormal growths'. But the clip was misleadingly edited to insert references to the product. Health experts told AFP it was not proven to be effective

"If you can feel lumps or you know someone who has lumps, share this video with them or tag them as this may help them," Ong is heard saying, while a superimposed graphic to the right of his face claims he and his wife Dr Liza Ong have endorsed Cystocure Advance.

The post's caption reads in part:"PAINFUL LUMPS ON THE BREAST? AVOID SURGERY! THIS IS THE SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEM! Take action using CYSTOCURE ADVANCE!"At the bottom of the screen, the product's advert claims it can treat lumps in breasts, ovaries and the neck.
