The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) denied claims that it summoned a celebrity who appeared in a fast-food chain commercial. The MTRCB emphasized the importance of verifying news sources in the digital age and condemned malicious and false claims.

The agency expressed support for the government's campaign against disinformation and misinformation. The celebrity was not identified, but it is believed to be Vice Ganda, who recently endorsed McDonald's Philippines in a trending social media campaign.
