Television and radio show host Erwin Tulfo erroneously claimed that the Nueva Ecija caravan of presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and his running mate Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio was not covered by broadcast and online news media.
Several media organizations did, in fact, report on the event, which drew a huge crowd. The Department of Health (DOH), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Commission on Elections (Comelec) have aired concerns over the jam-packed rallies of electoral aspirants due to COVID-19 concerns.
On Dec. 5, Tulfo published a video of the caravan on his official Facebook (FB) page with the caption:
“SAMANTALA… ITO ANG KAGANAPAN SA SAN JOSE CITY, NUEVA ECIJA KANINA NA HINDI LUMABAS SA MGA BIAS (sic) TV STATIONS AT ONLINE NEWS (as usual).”
(Meanwhile… This is the event in San Jose City, Nueva Ecija earlier that did not appear on biased TV stations and online news (as usual).)

The video, showing a large crowd in red cheering for Marcos as he thanked them for welcoming him, has gotten about 885,000 views and garnered more than 98,000 reactions, 7,300 comments and 23,000 shares as of 7:04 p.m., Dec. 7.
Tulfo did not specify which media outlets he was pertaining to. But several news media organizations, both broadcast and online, did cover the event, including:
