Senator Jinggoy Estrada (File picture/Voltaire F. Domingo/Senate PRIB) MANILA, Philippines — Senator Jinggoy Estrada is alarmed by the proliferation of fraudulent online celebrity advertisements for unregistered food, drug, and health products. This concern prompted him to seek a probe into the issue. Estrada filed Senate Resolution 666 on Monday, June 26, urging the appropriate panel to look into the deceptive use of the faces and names of popular personalities to market illegal products. 'There is a need to identify and plug possible loopholes in our prevailing laws and regulations, and update their provisions, considering the extensive employment of social media platforms and cyberspace, as well as the alarming use of maliciously manipulated images, spliced videos, and fabricated statements, in the promotion of food and health products,' the resolution read.
