FALSE

Senatorial aspirant and former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque has falsely claimed that President Rodrigo Duterte is throwing his support to former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr., who is running for president in the May 9, 2022 elections.

Roque, who is seeking a senate seat under the “UniTeam” party led by the son of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, Sr., made the claim during their grand campaign rally in Koronadal City, South Cotabato on Sunday, 27 March 2022.

“At ngayon, nagsalita na po ang Presidente (Rodrigo Duterte) na ang kanyang susuportahang presidente ay si Apo Bongbong (Marcos),” Roque told the crowd.

But as of posting, there are no reports that Duterte has made up his mind whom to support in the presidential race.
