We chanced upon a netizen post showing a supposed photograph of a road intersection in the Philippines where vehicles figured in a race to cross, ending up in an unbelievable traffic mess. The caption read, “Onli in da pilipins.”

We did a reverse image search and as we suspected, the photo was not taken in PH, but in Vietnam.

We didn’t think the post was intended to be satire — rather, fake news.
