Believing that social media has become a repository of fake news,  Alden Richards warned his adoring public not to believe all statements attributed to him.

Richards was asked about his reaction in a tweet supposedly made by him which was about his reaction to the Daniel Padilla-Kathryn Bernardo breakup.

Richards was quoted to have said:“Kathryn gave her love and trust to you pati na ang future n’ya for how many years pero niloloko mo lang pala. On cam ka lang pala loyal at sweet pero sa likod ng camera, dugong Padilla ka talaga. Please bro, ‘wag mo na guluhin pa si Kath, ‘wag kang selfish. Masaya na s’ya ngayon sa mundong ginagalawan n’ya.”
Initially, the actor’s father, Richard Faulkerson, reacted to the fake news.

“’Wag ganyan, hindi ganyan ang anak ko, abuso ka na. ‘Wag mo hintayin na ipa-NBI rin kita, papahanap ko kung sino ka,” he said.

Richards was asked about the issue by Aubrey Carampel for 24 Oras during the recently-concluded 52nd Box Office Entertainment Awards where he was named Box Office King.

“Kahit kailan po, hindi ako magko-comment ng kahit anong defamatory words to someone na hindi ko naman masyadong nakakasama at wala naman akong karapatan na manghusga sa taong tinutukoy du’n sa mga fake tweet na kumakalat,” Richards said.

Richards warned his adoring public not to believe everything they read on social media.

“Ingat lang po tayo sa fake news dahil ang social media po ay pugad ng fake news. Not until ‘yung mga official account po ng mga artista ang nag-post nu’ng tweets na kumakalat diumano, eh huwag po natin agad paniwalaan. Mag-fact check muna tayo bago mag-call ng judgment,” he added. (Nigel Chavez de Estrada)
