A screenshot of the misleading post, taken on November 16, 2020 Showing what appears a screengrab of a news report, the photo is overlaid with text that reads: ABS-CBN VAN TOPPLES WHILE THEY’RE MONITORING DOLOMITE IN THE MIDDLE OF TYPHOON ULYSSES. The post states: YOU DESERVE THAT ABS-CBN! Metro Manila was flooded, and Dolomite is still your concern?? You cannot bring down the popularity and trust of the people on (President Rodrigo) Duterte just because of that Dolomite! Ulysses is the Philippine name for Typhoon Vamco, the deadliest storm to hit the Philippines this year. The typhoon killed dozens and inundated portions of the main island Luzon, including the capital Manila, in November 2020. Dolomite refers to a controversial government project that aimed to create an artificial beach in a portion of the Manila Bay, a harbour west of the capital, using crushed dolomite rocks.
