Snow in the Philippines? Fake, says expert | ABS-CBN News

The "Philippine snow" video clip making rounds online is fake, according to NHK
World weather anchor Robert Speta. Speta said the supposed snow is ashfall taken
in 2009 around Christmas during an eruption of Mayon volcano in Albay.

"Ash can sometimes look like snow when it falls," he said in a blog post.

"The Christmas decorations would put it at the right time. Regardless it is not snow
and it was not on July 24th," he added, describing the video footage.

He said "Rodsburgh News Live," which uploaded the clip, is a "phantom news agency."

"It's a bogus news station. I was unable to source it back to anything else outside of
its YouTube channel where 2 videos are uploaded," he said.

Speta also explained that it would be impossible for snow to fall in Mindanao is in the
tropics near the equator.

"There was no reports of snow in the Philippines by any weather stations or temperatures
getting below 20C for that matter," he added.

"Just shows how good amateur news graphics are becoming, and to double check every
story you hear about," he said.
