00:00There are rumors circulating online that Defense Secretary Gilbert Eudoro has already resigned.

00:06Is this true? If not, why do you think this is being spread?

00:09Oh, wow. Really? There's news like that?

00:14That Secretary Gilbert Eudoro has resigned?

00:19Really?

00:21I'll answer your question first. Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake news.

00:31What's coming out of this is that these desperate people are just inventing stories to create trouble.

00:41They have nothing to give. They have nothing to help.

00:45They have no contribution to the lives of Filipinos.

00:49It's just a lie. It's just a mess.

00:53So, we need to be careful.

00:59Let's not believe too much if there's no proof of what they're saying.

01:05On this issue, again, fake news.

01:10That's the worst example of fake news spread by anyone on social media.

01:20Be careful and be careful when you read something like that.

01:26On the issue of Secretary Eudoro, we're just laughing.

01:32I called him this morning and told him that he's going to resign.

01:37He asked me why and I told him that he can fire me.

01:40I told him, why should I fire you? We don't have a problem.

01:43No, that's the news that came out.

01:45He said, let's not pay attention to it.

01:48I said, but we need to answer and explain to the people of the country

01:52that this kind of gossip, these fake news, they're just spreading it to create trouble.

02:00So, don't be affected by that.

02:02Our work will continue.

02:04We will not stop.

02:06None of our colleagues did anything.

02:09But every day, before we wake up, until we go to sleep,

02:14we will see how we can help and improve the Philippines.

02:18That's what all of your governments want.

02:21Don't be affected by fake news of that kind.

02:25Don't be affected by the chaos that they're creating.

02:32We don't pay attention to that because we know the truth.

02:56Don't be affected.

03:00If there's a change in the government, we will announce it.

03:08No matter who posts, they won't announce it.

03:13No one knows that.

03:14We will announce it.

03:16For now, there's no change.
