CLAIM: TikTok video showing former president Rodrigo Duterte strangling President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
RATING: FALSE
A TikTok user uploaded an AI-generated video showing former president Rodrigo Duterte violently attacking President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
The video began with an image of the two standing next to each other, then Duterte proceeding to strangle Marcos.
The original image used for the manipulated video was from Sara Duterte’s inauguration as vice president in Davao City on June 19, 2022.
That moment was captured when the two appeared beside each other during the photo opportunity before the event concluded.
As of this writing, the fake clip has drawn multiple comments from people believing that the event occurred recently.
The TikTok video has continuously gained traction, garnering 3,000,000+ views, 201,000+ likes, 7,000+ comments, and 250+ shares. Michael Hermoso – Bautista
