False assumption. After news spread that the direct sales outlet of a beloved footwear brand would be closing, some netizens thought the brand itself was going out of business. This wasn’t the case, but many already aired their emotions. After it became clear the brand wasn’t going out of business, they blamed the media for “creating confusion”.
“Kamo ra man gud ang nagpataka, wa man gud giingon manirado ang negosyo. Kamo ra ni-assume,” said a woman who shared the post.
