Posts share altered image to falsely accuse media of hiding Marcos's ill health

In April 2026, social media posts shared a manipulated image of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos to falsely accuse a major broadcaster of concealing his ill health. The altered image, originally taken by GMA News in April 2026, was edited to add a 2024 date and circulate alongside claims that the broadcaster was hiding the president's condition. GMA News clarified that the image was manipulated to reflect an incorrect meeting date and that the blurred version was standard protocol before being replaced by a clear image showing the correct date.
