Facebook (FB) users are circulating a video of former president Rodrigo Duterte showing his supposed homecoming that was allegedly kept from the public eye. This is false. The video was from an event in Davao City last January.
Posted on April 13, a 55-second video shows the former president arriving at a conference room and welcomed by a crowd of supporters. Also shown in the clip were Davao City Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte, Sens. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, Robinhood Padilla and Bong Go, as well as actor and senatorial aspirant Philip Salvador.
The video bore the text:
“Tatay Digong in the house. Ang sekretong pag uwi ni tatay D sa pilipinas (The secret homecoming of Tatay D in the Philippines.”
This is not true. Duterte remains detained in the International Criminal Court (ICC) facility in The Hague, Netherlands. The video was taken during a Partido Demokratiko Pilipino (PDP) event in Davao City last Jan. 30.
