<p><strong>Claim:</strong> <em>Ulat Bayan</em>, a television news show by PTV, broadcast a segment promoting Bee Venom Plus as a cure for bone and joint pain.</p>



<h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-rating-false">Rating: FALSE</h5>



<p><strong>Why we fact-checked this:</strong> Several posts bearing the false claim have been circulating on Facebook, with the latest one garnering 102,000 views and 160 reactions. The page that is repeatedly spreading the claim, “Osteoarthritis Miracle &#8211; Bee Venom Cream,” has 1,100 followers.</p>



<p>The posts use a supposed news report with the <em>Ulat Bayan</em> logo in the background. A female anchor, who looks like PTV newscaster Diane Querrer, explains the unique formulation of the product, which is said to use bee venom and a mix of medicinal plants.</p>



<p>This supposedly makes the product effective in immediately curing pain, inflammation, and stiffness in the bones and joints. It is said to help the elderly and wheelchair-bound individuals feel younger.</p>



<p>The video also claims that Bee Venom Plus was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and is now being used in clinics and hospitals in the Philippines and the United States.</p>
