Snow In The Philippines – Fake or Real VIDEO
Check this out! There is a video posted on YouTube just recently and has been circulating on Facebook showing a snow fall happening in the southern Philippines.
Question: Is the video fake or real?
There was no mention of the specific province where the snow occurred. The video seemed to only focus in one scene. The one who took the video could have panned the camera somewhere else, but did not! Since a snow in the tropics is a rare event, Philippine news agencies and TV stations could have picked up the news. However, Google did not reveal any story of snow in the country.
Real or fake? Looks fake to me. Maybe it is not snow but an ash fall from a Volcano eruption nearby. Maybe.
Note: If any of you could confirm the location of the snowfall, leave a comment below. We will update this post if something new comes.
VIDEO
Same observations. The video just said southern Philippines, no specific place. I am interested to know more about this phenomenon as well.
Fake.
A) Don’t look like much snowfalls I lived through in Canada.
B) Makes mention of a “fall” season and the trees still having their leaves: tropical climates don’t have a fall, they have a dry and wet season.
C) This would be major news on a local network (it’d be a minor item buried in major Western media so so don’t count on CNN)
In Benguet- Cordillera Administrative Region, there is what we call Dante rain… Where small ice particles the size of peas actually falls during the rainy season… It was not advisable to stay out because the ice really hurts when it hits your skin, the last one I had was some time in 2002…
Fake. It doesn’t even look like snow. It’s actually ash fall from a volcano. Also, look when this when this poster – RodsburghNewsLive – just joined: Joined Jul 22, 2013. 3 days ago. Can’t even find “Rodsburgh News Live” on Google! This is not a credible news company unlike GMANews: Joined Oct 29, 2007 and CNN: Joined Nov 16, 2006. Another troll trying to gain viral popularity on the internet. Tsk.
Oh, I tried posting a comment on the site. Guess what? The comments are PENDING APPROVAL, meaning to say that the poster does not want comments with the word “FAKE”, so that it can lure more people to think it’s real.
I’ve noticed that too no specific location of where it happened in southern Philippines. that’s a phenomenon there’s should be at least some people or crowd outside looking or playing with the snow. it’s fake
and it looks like I couldn’t find any more video of the said snowfall. that’s strange that only one person took an effort and upload a video of the phenomenon.
I wonder why foreign news channels entertained this snow LIE. There are a lot of bananas in southern Philippines but NO snow. It looks like the roof of the house in the video is made of shingles and shingles is unusual here in southern Philippines. I know this because I live here.
This is a total hoax/fake. It has been circulating on fb and a person from PAGASA confirm there is no such event happened or any readings from their devices about this phenomenon. Local news should be able the one reporting about this matter for PAGASA will certainly report it to local media. Don’t be fooled about this hoax video.
None heard news report on TV in the Philippines here. xD
Look closely there are red bows and a Christmas wreath in the background in midyear?! Plus the architecture of the house (brick walls and window shutters, it’s not common in the southern part of the Philippines. Only part of it is real and the rest is just video overlay of banana trees or the snow perhaps. But this is soooooo fake. And yeah, can’t even Google the news channel. ;)
This is real we have family that lives there and there has been a lot of damage
My family is presently live in southern part of the phil, asked one of them and they said never heard about the said story, really annoyed me because as soon as i saw in facebook called my mom and she was surprised if that is true a lot of people will post in facebook with diff picture. Maybe that is a fake a real fake.
