Multiple Facebook posts shared in February 2021 claim that cyclists in the Philippines must register their bicycles as part of a new nationwide scheme. The claim is false: the posts shared a screenshot from an article published in June 2020 about a local government order to register bicycles in Cebu City. The order, however, was scrapped hours after it was announced. The Philippine government has not implemented a bicycle registration programme as of February 22, 2021.
The screenshot was shared in a Facebook post on February 9, 2021.
It shows a Tagalog-language news graphic by Philippine tabloid Abante Tonite. It states: Bicycles need to be registered.
