A video of a company’s anniversary celebration has been manipulated and misrepresented as a campaign rally of Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his running mate Sara Duterte.

The 33-second clip posted by Tiktok user princemark699 on April 26 was edited to make it appear as if the crowd is singing with rapper Andrew E. to“Bagong Pilipinas,” the campaign song of the Marcos-Duterte tandem.

The post’s comes with the caption #solidBBM and text overlay of “SOLID BBM SARA.” The location is set at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan.

The original video was first uploaded by the same TikTok user on Jan. 22 including his personal photos from the event. It was originally with a song “Hall of Fame,” but was removed. The doctored video was cut to the crowd and now with the audio of “Bagong Pilipinas” and crowd chanting.

FactRakers is a Philippines-based fact-checking initiative of journalism majors at the University of the Philippines-Diliman working under the supervision of Associate Professor Yvonne T. Chua of the University of the Philippines’ Journalism Department. Associate Professor Ma. Diosa Labiste, also of the Journalism Department, serves as editorial consultant.

The name of the initiative, coined from the words “fact” and “raker,” is inspired by the term “muckrakers,” first used in the early 1900s by American president Theodore Roosevelt to express his annoyance at progressive, reform-minded journalists at the time.
