ASEAN Skyline, a Facebook page that claims to “showcase the development and Beauty of ASEAN” has recently gotten attention with its post stating that the Mountain Kinabalu belongs to the Southern Philippines.

“Camping View at Mount Kinabalu, The tallest mountain in the Philippines. Sabah, Southern Philippines,” the post says. It has gathered a total of 898 comments and 439 shares at the time of writing.

The act of slandering a country with false information is really disrespectful, especially when the page claims to “showcase the beauty” of ASEAN countries.
