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.
Marcos served in the Senate from 2010 to 2016, covering both the 15th and 16th Congress. In his first three years, he was listed as an author of 49 Senate bills and a co-author of two.
The international airport already existed long before Marcos took office.
The Philippines never ranked second to Japan between 1965 and 1986.
Historians tell otherwise, as the Marcoses have a history of commissioning books with their own version of their story about former dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. and his 21-year-old martial law rule.
Neither Trump nor Biden made comments towards Marcos recently, as shown by the lack of official record from the U.S. government or any report from legitimate media organizations.
