The fake clip was shared from a Dec. 1 post of Facebook (FB) page BBM for President. It bore TikTok’s watermark and was originally uploaded by user mbfcel, but said copy had been taken down.
Prior to the post’s publication, there were at least two Supreme Court (SC) decisions confirming the thievery of the Marcoses.
While the post did not mention infrastructure projects during Noynoy Aquino’s term, many of the recently-inaugurated projects by the Duterte government were actually initiated by the previous administration under its flagship Public-Private Partnership.
The Nov. 19 graphic carried a photo of Imee and a quote that appeared directed at President Rodrigo Duterte for his innuendo about a presidential aspirant who uses cocaine. It was published with the text “Satire MemesHor.”
The photo was actually taken during a caravan organized two days before by supporters of the former senator Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., who is also running for president in the May 2022 elections.
A cursory search showed the clip was lifted from a 13-minute-long YouTube video that was already flagged as false by VERA Files Fact Check last May.
This is not true. The petition filed with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to cancel his Certificate of Candidacy (COC) has yet to reach the High Court as the poll body is only now preparing to hear the case.
The video was overlaid with an audio from another TikTok video where a crowd can be heard chanting “Marcos, Marcos pa rin”, with the former senator seen encouraging them to continue chanting his name. This was uploaded last Oct. 25.
The graphic showed only the 2018 ruling affirming the Sandiganbayan’s 2010 decision and 2011 joint resolution which, as reported by multiple news media, dismissed a case against former president Ferdinand Marcos, his wife Imelda, and his associates.
“The term ‘alumni’ is not synonymous with ‘graduates’. One can be an alumnus without graduating,” it said in an email response to VERA Files Fact Check.
