MANILA, Philippines — The Palace on Friday dismissed an audio recording warning of a lockdown or an imposition of martial law as fake and urged the public to rely on information from credible sources.

 

In the clip, an unidentified woman advises people to stock up on food and other essentials in case President Rodrigo Duterte declares another lockdown or even declare martial law. During that time, the unverified clip claims, nobody will be allowed to leave the house.
