The facts
Marcos did not mention Duterte's case or detention in his 27 July 2026 address. VERA Files traced the quote card to an altered GMA News graphic with a different font and the logo removed, and Vice President Sara Duterte said on 28 July she did not know where the release claim came from. Duterte remained detained awaiting a trial set to begin on 30 November.
