UST nursing student Trisha Mangahas on NARS: Our app will help the user find information that is questionable. A student volunteer will explain why it is fake news and if there is a way to correct such information.
UST nursing student Trisha Mangahas: We never thought we'd win this in the first place. But for our video to be shown in conferences, in front of world leaders is a blessing.
