Fake online celeb endorsements ng food at drug products ipinabubusisi ni Estrada
Hiniling ni Senator Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada na maimbestigahan sa Senado ang pagkalat ng online fake celebrity endorsements sa mga hindi rehistradong food at drug products.
Inihain ni Estrada ang Senate Resolution No. 666 sa katuwiran na delikado ang modus dahil ginagamit sa online advertisements ang larawan ng mga kilalang personalidad.
“These advertisements mislead consumers into believing that these celebrities are using and endorsing food and medicinal products that are actually unregistered before the proper health authorities and not yet approved for mass distribution and public consumption,” ani Estrada.
Nakakabahala din aniya na ang mga pekeng gamot na kumakalat sa social media ay nai-share pa ng libo-libong konsyumer kayat kumakalat ang mga maling impormqsyon ukol sa kalidad, bisa at kaligtasan ng mga nasabing food, drugs, at health products.
“The circulation and proliferation of fraudulent online advertisements are clear and blatant violations of the Consumer Act, which penalizes the dissemination of deceptive and misleading sales promotion practices,” punto ng senador.
Inihalimbawa pa ni Estrada si Dr. Willie Ong, isang kilalang internist at cardiologist na libo-libo ang social media followers, na ginamit sa sinasabing “miracle food” na “mixed nuts.”
Gayundin si Dr. Tony Leachon, na ginamit ang larawan at pangalan para palabasin ang pag-endorso niya sa isang gamot sa diabetes.
“There is an urgent need to protect consumers against the consumption of unregistered and potentially harmful food and health products through the strict enforcement of the provisions of the Consumer Act and regulation of fraudulent advertisements on social media platforms,” dagdag pa ni Estrada.
