The University of the Philippines (UP) on Tuesday cautioned applicants for the 2019 UP College Admission Test (UPCAT) against fake information proliferating on social media about the new schedule of examinations.

In a Facebook post, the UPCAT-U.P. System said information on social media indicating the dates for the examinations “is not official.” It also encouraged the public, especially UPCAT examinees, to standby for the formal announcement, which would only come from their office, official university website and Facebook page.

On September 12, UPCAT 2019 was postponed amid the looming onslaught of typhoon “Ompong” (international name: Mangkhut) in the country.
