Following this news, LRay addressed the viral photos and said that the people who claimed they were in Siargao during the storm were all fake news.
“Ngayon panahon ng kalamidad dapat lahat nag-tutulungan at nagkakaisa, kaya lang ang mga desperado, mga sinungaling, at mga ul*l namin na mga kalaban, nagpapalabas ng fake news sa kanilang mga fake accounts na ako raw at si Gov Luigi ay nasa Siargao raw ngayon habang ang ating mga kababayan ay nag hihirap sa baha! Kasinungalingan at hinde totoo ito!” he said.

According to LRay, they were indeed in Siargao, but that the photos were taken on a Saturday, way before Typhoon Kristine even hit the Philippines.
“Yan photo in Siargao posted kahapon or today was taken Saturday at lahat ng SK nakabalik na ng CamSur Monday bago pa nag bagyo. Lumang style na yan gawa niyo mga ul*l, hindi niyo kaya lokohin mga tao! Ilan election niyo na yan ginagawa para siraaan kami. Alam ng tao ang totoo, mas alam ng tao ang fake news!” he had written on his official Facebook page.

News, photos, or videos that arouse the interest of netizens often go viral on social media. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, such could also happen to ordinary people.
As previously reported by KAMI, photos of former VP Leni Robredo wading through a waist-deep flood together with rescuers in Naga have gone viral. The photos, taken by Egine Oquindo Baral, showed the former vice president wading through floodwaters. According to Egine’s post, it was in Sto. Niño, Abella, Naga City. The raft contained supplies and water to be distributed.
Meanwhile, a video of a family and their baby climbing up the roof to escape floodwaters in Camarines Sur has gone viral. In the video shared by GMA News on social media, one can see a man and a woman handing over a baby to another man on the roof. Upon getting the baby, the man immediately clambered up to another part of the roof towards what appeared to be another building.
