“Ang social media is maraming mga fake na video na ginagawa para mas lalong pumanic ‘yung mga tao,” Banda said.

“At saka yung mga tao dito sa Wuhan, hindi po kumakain ng paniki. ‘Yung mga paniki na nakikita niyo na soup, my goodness, ilang taon na po ako dito sa China, hindi po ako nakakakita ng ganyan na soup,” she added.
