Last month, President Benigno Aquino III had a meeting with Disneyland executives at the US-ASEAN Special Leaders’ Summit. Now, people all over the Internet are falsely claiming that Disneyland Philippines is already confirmed to happen. Sadly, this is not the case.
The false news was first released on a website called Okay Dito – and people took it seriously, with some even going so far as copy-pasting the “news” from Okay Dito onto their own Facebook pages without the source. After that, everything just spread like wildfire with other websites even posting self-made posters of “Disneyland Philippines”. Again: none of those posters are from Disneyland.
In case you didn’t know, Okay Dito is a website that calls itself an “online resource for gullibe people” in its description. In other words: it is a hoax site and the news is not real. I feel the need to point this out as so many people are currently talking about it and sharing false information. While there is nothing wrong with hoping for a Disneyland in our country, I believe that everyone should try and be more responsible about what they share online.
Please share this article with your friends who have been sharing the news, so that they are aware and become more mindful about what they share online. Thank you! 🙂

ang realidad walang disneyland na gagawin dito peryahan malapit sa katotohanan
Only those who live in RP would buy the news…who else would? Even Pinoys who live overseas wouldn’t. In the Philippine society, common sense is something scarcer than Tarsiers…hahaha
We can’t have a disneyland in the Philippines, 1 is because we are a tropical country, so disneys winter festival will not happen in the phillipines. 2. we dont have an adequate location which will be housing a big electrcity consumption.. yun ngang pang araw araw na gamit ng kasalukuyan nagkakaabirya pa eh.. just imagine if your in the middle of a rollercoaster ride then suddenly it stops because of power failure… 3. we dont have a capability to handle 5 to 10 million tourist in a year.. Una wala tayong airport na maayos.. our mass transportation system can’t even support our own kababayans. what more 10 million tourists.. 4. and the security of our country really sucks now.. everywhere we are terrorized by our own people.. and our government can’t do anything about it..
Bottom line Disneyland will not happen ever for the Phillippines.. Because not only it will be a flop but it will only be another way to do corrpution for our Very Very Good Government Official..
The said site -okay dito, should be taken down. Giving false information or most appropriately called chismis could harm any reader. What if they posted something about health or let’s say articles related to safety issues? Readers should be more careful and choose where to take information from.
