Hoax Alert: Manny Pacquiao To Join Professional DOTA Team

Another fake news is doing its rounds in the social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter with over 95,000 likes and 350 tweets (as of writing this post) about the topic of Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao joining a professional DOTA team not long after his entry in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

This article made by Pinoy Trending is lacking information and sources to back up its claim. We did encounter this website before producing inconsistent and misleading posts, providing unreliable materials for its readers.

According to that site, they interviewed some people who said that the Filipino Champion (Pacquiao) is very curious in this online game. Manny played the game and became addicted to the point that he wanted to create or join a professional team in DOTA, they added. Clearly, this claim is lacking substance to be genuine.

We also noticed that the grammar is everywhere. Majority of the readers may not seemed to notice it and went straight to reacting on the post provided.

Here we attached the screenshots of the article. This was composed of three paragraphs without any outbound links to where should be the sources located to make the information more reliable.







Again, the news about Manny Pacquiao joining a professional DOTA team is just another hoax event.

Do not easily deceived by others. Always think before you click.
