    Dagupan City in the Philippines is proposing an anti-fake news ordinance that would fine social media users 5000 pesos for spreading fake news. The draft ordinance was written in response to a bomb scare in January 2017 where false reports on Facebook claimed that 7 people were killed in a shooting near the incident site. The ordinance has yet to pass its first reading in the city council. It aims to encourage caution when sharing online posts and penalize the spread of misinformation in Dagupan City.
