CLAIM: New evidence of first lady Liza Araneta Marcos’s alleged meddling in an anti-drug agency’s probe was released to the public.
RATING: FALSE
A Facebook Reels short video falsely claimed that new evidence proving first lady Liza Araneta-Marcos meddling in an anti-drug agency’s investigation had been released to the public.
The video was paired with a misleading caption that read: “IBIDINSYA LABAN SA ASAWA NI BBM INILABAS NA! [sic]”
(“Evidence against BBM’s spouse has been released!”)
The reel, posted March 19, showed footage that first appeared during the Senate’s May 13, 2024 public hearing and investigation on the alleged “PDEA Leaks.”
The video falsely claimed that the footage was “new.”
As of writing, no new evidence has been presented supporting the first lady’s supposed meddling and coercion to silence former a Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency agent, Jonathan Morales.
