Go raps Rappler, PDI for ‘fake news’

SPECIAL Assistant to the President Christopher “Bong” Go on Monday blamed “irresponsible reporting” for generating controversy on the P15.7-billion Philippine Navy frigate project, calling out two media outlets: the Philippine Daily Inquirer and Rappler.

Go, who attended the Senate national defense and security committee hearing on the frigate deal, noted that the multibillion-peso project only became an issue after the two news outlets came out with allegations that he intervened in the process, which he branded as “fake news.”
