A screengrab of the fake page featured an alleged scholarship from the Commission on Higher Education for 2024 to 2025, claiming recipients can receive a P7,000 monthly allowance.

“Ang naturang pekeng page ay patuloy pa rin sa pagkukunsinte sa pagpapalaganap ng fake news patungkol sa DSWD at sa iba pang ahensya ng gobyerno. Walang anumang kaugnayan ang DSWD dito,” the DSWD said in its advisory.
