A call to verify whether something someone allegedly said is actually true — pushing back on a 'sabi ni' claim before it spirals into a full narrative. Filipino internet culture runs on secondhand quotes and paraphrased receipts, which means information mutates fast. A sabi check asks: did they actually say that, or did someone's interpretation get laundered into a quote? It's the fact-checking impulse applied specifically to attributed speech, especially useful in stan communities, political discourse, and barangay-level drama threads.
