00:16Harlee Valbuena of PTV has the latest news.
00:19The palace itself said that fake news came from the relationship between the administration of Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte.

00:39According to Palace Press Officer Atty. Claire Castro, the President himself noticed the fake news and even he was affected by it.
00:49Malacanang also clarified that the fake news was the reason why First Lady Liza Arneta Marcos got angry with the former President Rodrigo Duterte
00:57because she did not appoint President Marcos as the Agriculture Secretary.
01:03Yusef Castro also called the so-called edited photos that were posted on social media.
01:11This is not new. Since VP Sara's view on the Marcos family did not improve, fake news started.
