🇵🇭 Doctored photo of Filipino doctor shared in scam posts touting 'weight loss snacks'

Photos that appear to show a Filipino doctor endorsing brands of cereals and mixed nuts have been repeatedly shared in Facebook posts that claim the snacks are effective for weight loss. But the posts are a"scam" according to the doctor, whose photo has been doctored to make it seem as though she endorsed the products. A Filipino nutrition expert told AFP that people hoping to lose weight should adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle rather than consuming specific products.

The post -- published on a Facebook page on September 9 that bears Rojo's name and image -- states in part:"Last month, I have the chance to attend a health and nutrition seminar in Japan. "The Japan Nutrition Research Institute has introduced special cereal products for people who are on a diet. "Research shows that many people regain their slimmer figure and improve their health after eating this cereal for a time. Indeed a perfect product."Screenshot of false post taken on September 24, 2022that also bears her name, as shown below:
