Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter are now flooding with questions about the circulating text message regarding the “cosmic rays radiation.”
Questions of the netizens appeared in Facebook and Twitter are directly addressed to “Kuya Kim,” a Filipino TV host, voice actor and weather anchor in the country who was allegedly one of the sources of the said text message.
The fast circulating text message was expressed in several dialects. In Filipino version reads the following: “Paki off daw po ang mga phones niyo ng 10:30pm ngayong gabi hanggang 3:30am kasi Malakas ang radiation dahil sa cosmic rays, nuclear atomic. Binalita nikuya Kim tsaka ng BBC sa tv. delikado po at nakamamatay. At wag nyo pong isama ang phone sa pag tulog Mamayang Gabi, maari po itong makamatay. Pakipasa na lng po sa iba. Salamat!”
It is believed that the circulating text message about the “cosmic rays radiation” is a hoax in the since that there was no advisory, report or any information coming from the authorize government agency like PAGASA.
According to the expert, this kind of report has no other intention but to cause panic to the people and use it to victimize innocence and is considered criminal case. These have been used long time ago since 2008 and many people who have evil intention use the same ruse.
Let nobody fools you.
