Former press secretary Atty. Trixie Cruz-Angeles said that some "fake news" reports are time-bound, during a House hearing on Friday.

Her remark came in response to Antipolo 2nd District Representative Romeo Acop, who asked vloggers to define fake news.

"Di po kayang sagutin ng definition ng fake news. Kasi po may fake news na time-bound. Totoo ngayon, bukas hindi na totoo. Minsan po ang tinatawag na fake news ay time-bound," she said.

"Katulad nga po ng heliocentric vs geocentric solar system naparusahan po si Galileo pero 600 years later nag-apologize ang simbahan dahil totoo pala siya," she added.

Cruz-Angeles also sought the need for a clear definition of fake news to avoid misinterpretations.

Acop asked Cruz-Angeles for her personal understanding of fake news.

Cruz-Angeles questioned the definition of fake news, asking whether clickbait, sarcasm, or jokes would be considered as such.

"For instance is clickbait fake news? Fake 'yung headline pero nasa body naman yung katotohan. What about sarcasm, sir, kasama po ba siya sa fake news? Paano kung jokes? Fake news din po ba yun? Gusto ko lang po malaman kasi kung paparusahan niyo kami alam namin yung ginawa naming mali," she said.

Acop said any proposed bill tackling fake news would include a definition of terms.

"When we come up with a proposed bill there will be a definition of terms as always so fake news there will be defined," he said.
