Our verdict
A report about Gibran's equivalency certificate was filed with Bareskrim on 7 October 2026, but Tempo found the police had not summoned or questioned him as of publication. The footage actually shows his visit on 11 September 2026 to Efarina Etaham Hospital in Berastagi, North Sumatra, to see students hospitalised after food poisoning linked to free school meals. The video is real but presented in a false context.
