Source lang ng info ng mga tao eh newspaper, TV, radio.
Ngayon naman, sobra-sobra dami ng info na nagkalat.

I’m reminded of an entry in “A Diary of the Japanese Occupation” by Father Juan Labrador, published by the UST press:

“There were rumors that the advancing Japanese had poisoned Manila’s water supply. Not too long afterwards, some folks started complaining of stomach pains.” (Note: the rumors turned out to be false)

79 years later, ganyan pa rin mga tao, mas mabilis lang kumalat ang balita and speculation ngayon.
