When it comes to spreading fake news, sharing is not just caring—it’s culpable.

Take, for instance, the case of Rigoberto Tiglao, a former diplomat, presidential spokesperson, and newspaper columnist who has now become a prolific re-poster of false information.

Tiglao, who ironically authored a book titled “Debacle,” seems to have written his own script for a personal disaster in terms of honor, reputation, and credibility. It’s one thing for an average netizen to click ‘share’ without a second thought, but when a seasoned public figure joins the fray, it’s like watching a trained chef endorse fast food.

The real tragedy isn’t just that fake news continues to proliferate, but that its carriers now include those who once held positions of trust and authority. So, as Tiglao faces his own “Debacle,” we must ask: was it all a premonition, or merely an unintended autobiography?
