It surfaced after a pro-Duterte vlogger aired an exclusive interview with the president.

But the senator’s “apology” featured in the video is not what the headline suggests it to be.
A reverse image search revealed that the photo of the Marcelo Fernan bridge used by Viraltrends was taken by a certain Antonio “Tony” Oquias and could be found in at least three stock image websites: Alamy, iStock by Getty Images, and Adobe Stock.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) will proceed with the full-blown investigation into the alleged crimes against humanity committed by President Rodrigo Duterte in his war on drugs.
The claim is merely based on speculation.
It was the screaming headline of September 8, 2015: Duterte drops out of presidential race.
Robredo does not hold any Cabinet post from which she can be removed. In the case of Duque, Sen. Christopher “Bong” Go only advised him during a Senate blue ribbon committee hearing to address the findings of the Commission on Audit on the "deficiencies" in the Department of Health's (DOH) handling of the pandemic.
Before and after the dubious video was posted on Aug. 19, President Rodrigo Duterte had declared full support for Duque amid calls for his resignation. During his weekly briefing on Monday night (Aug. 23), the president reiterated he would not ask his health secretary to quit, but would accept his resignation if he did so voluntarily. There has been no word from Duque since.
Roque dubbed the quote card as “fake news” while a media outfit whose logo is visible in the graphic denied and denounced the post.
The video did not even mention the United States but instead featured an unrelated clip from a July 26 interview with Philipine National Police (PNP) Chief Guillermo Eleazar on PTV.
