The photo, which began circulating on Jan. 26, was stripped of its original context. It was taken from the personal FB account of vlogger Almira Sullano and was published the day the Marcos interview was broadcast.
Todo ang trabaho ng mga publisher ng disinformation ngayong taon sa kanilang paggawa ng mga hindi tumpak na post na may kaugnayan sa halalan – karamihan sa mga ito ay umikot para suportahan o atakihin ang ilang mga political aspirants bago pa man ang opisyal na pagsisimula ng kampanya para sa mga pambansang eleksyon sa susunod na taon.
Publishers of disinformation were at full throttle this year in their production of inaccurate election-related posts — most of which circulated to either prop up or attack certain political aspirants even before the official start of the campaign period for next year’s national polls.
Matapos ipahayag ni Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. noong Okt. 5 na tatakbo siya bilang pangulo sa halalan ng 2022, ang mga paulit-ulit na pahayag na pinupuri ang kanyang ama, ang yumaong diktador Ferdinand Marcos Sr., at ang kanyang diktatoryal na rehimen ay kapansin-pansing tumaas.
The types of Marcos propaganda circulating on social media mostly exaggerated myths on Marcos Sr. and his regime, featured denials of graft and corruption charges against the family, and vilified the administrations that came after 1986.
The poll body has yet to issue a decision on any of the eight cancellation and disqualification cases against the former senator.
Several netizens believed the satirical page was a legitimate news organization and accused it of “biased” reporting.
The two videos carried similar headlines but different contents to support their false claims.
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.
