FALSE

A Facebook (FB) post claimed that actress and vlogger Ivana Alawi criticized Cagayan de Oro Rep. Lordan Suan for signing the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte. This is fake.

A reader sent for verification through VERA Files’ Messenger Misinformation Tipline an April 11 post supposedly quoting Alawi as saying:

“ABOGADONG KULANG SA PAG-AARAL YAN SI LORDAN SUAN. HINDI NIYA INISIP ANG KAPAKANAN SA SUSUNOD NA HENERASYON” – Ivana Alawi, Blogger/Actress.

(Lordan Suan is a lawyer who lacks education. He doesn’t think about the welfare of the next generation. – Ivana Alawi, Blogger/Actress)”

The quote card bearing GMA News’ logo is fabricated. No article or post containing such a statement from Alawi was published on GMA News’ website and social media pages.

Alawi has never published a statement about the vice president’s impeachment on any of her official social media accounts nor spoken about it in her YouTube vlogs.
