Nope. Abaya Did Not Say That.

The election is now over and yet the lies are still pouring. A facebook page supporting now President-elect Rody Duterte shared an article purporting DOTC Sec. Jun Abaya's admission that the Laglag-Bala scheme was legal. "Abaya admits 'laglag-bala' modus is legal, needs funds for Roxas' campaign", the posted link says. However if you follow the link nowhere did it mention that Sec. Abaya made such confession. The actual content was posted last November 12, 2015 (you can read the article here. It did, however, mention that DOTC acknowledged there were lapses in filing cases against innocent victims. This was published during Senate's probe on the laglag-bala modus operandi.

Screenshot of edited Facebook Card Title

Last May 11, Philippine Daily Inquirer has clarified that matter and shared the real link with the Facebook card bearing the actual headline. But even today people/pages are still posting it with misleading title. As far as I know Facebook has already removed users' ability to edit title and description of posted links. On how they do it today, I am still looking for the answer.

Philippine Daily Inquirer claims that the title was edited.

Actual title of the article in the link.
