Deepfake Alleging Drug Use by Philippine President Marcos Sparks Outrage | Firstpost America

A deepfake video allegedly showing Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. using drugs has caused controversy ahead of his State of the Nation Address. The Department of National Defence claims supporters of former President Rodrigo Duterte released the video. The military and Department of Justice condemned the video, promising to find and prosecute the perpetrators. Police forensic experts highlighted differences between Marcos and the man in the video. This incident follows an earlier deepfake in April. Despite denials, Duterte maintains the video’s authenticity, alleging Marcos is a drug user. Deepfake technology has become a significant issue as the 2025 election approaches.
