Filipino actress Shaina Magdayao was rushed to the hospital due to hypothyroidism, but was declared dead on arrival.
Facebook Claim Check, the social network’s monitoring tool that identifies potentially dubious content shared across the platform, flagged at least 51 different links related to this. These links belong to 7 unique domains: balitang247.pepetv.info, cnnworld.patrol-news.com, gmanews.balitng247tv.info, gmanewsnetwork.pepetv.info, manila.tv-patrol.com, phbalita.hetongbago.com, and thetrue.i-witnesstv.com.
When clicked, these links redirect to these websites’ pages that show a video of what looks like a clip from a news report. The video plays for a few seconds, then requires the viewer to share the post on their own Facebook accounts to “uncover” the rest of the clip. The claim was first shared on Facebook on October 19, based on Claim Check data. Readers also emailed Rappler for verification.Shaina Magdayao is alive. No legitimate news organization has announced her passing as of writing, and the actress is still very much active on her official and verified social networking account.
