A viral video showing fugitive former representative Zaldy Co taunting Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla is a deepfake. DAU analysis confirms it is AI-generated.
Multiple Facebook posts show a photo of former Ako Bicol Party-list Rep. Zaldy Co in handcuffs at the border of Czech Republic and Germany. The image is AI-generated. There is no official photograph of his arrest.
Several Facebook users are circulating a supposed video message from resigned Ako Bicol Party-list representative Zaldy Co in the Czech Republic saying he is ready to tell all behind the corruption in the anomalous trillion-peso flood control projects. This is fake and was created using artificial intelligence.
If Co becomes merely a tool to purge political opponents while allies are shielded, the cycle of corruption will simply reset under a different name. The real test of the administration’s sincerity lies in whether the investigation follows the money wherever it leads, even to the doorstep of those currently in power.
Viral videos and a quote card are claiming that Fr. Flavie Villanueva received funds from Zaldy Co and told prisoners and "EJK victims" to pin down former president Rodrigo Duterte. These are false.
Facebook posts claim that DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla asked Zaldy Co to give him $1 billion to be a "star witness" in the cases involving anomalous flood control projects . Not true.
Vincenzo is fiction. The alleged plunder of public funds attributed to Co is not.Yet both point to the same enduring truth: there is no such thing as a permanent secret. No matter how deep the vault, how advanced the technology, or how powerful the people involved, the truth has a way of surfacing.
Multiple FB posts of a list of trillion-peso corruption masterminds supposedly released by Zaldy Co are circulating online. The post and list are fake.
A video circulating online claims to show former Ako Bicol Partylist representative Zaldy Co surrounded by authorities after he was arrested. This is false.
Former Ako Bicol party-list representative Zaldy Co never said the Dutertes ordered him to defame President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. The video is AI-generated.
