Malacañang is drawing a firm line—and this time, it’s personal.
On Wednesday, the Palace confirmed it is preparing to file complaints against individuals spreading false information about the health of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
The message was clear: enough is enough.
Acting Presidential Communications Office Secretary Dave Gomez revealed that authorities are now gathering evidence, with legal action expected soon—possibly as early as next week.
“We’re already collecting all pieces of evidence,” Gomez said. “And we will initiate a complaint with the DOJ… hopefully next week.”
A pause. Then the weight of it sinks in.
This comes after a wave of viral social media posts falsely claimed that the President had been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer—rumors that quickly spread, fueling confusion and concern.
But Malacañang isn’t backing down.
The Palace has repeatedly assured the public that President Marcos is in good health, pushing back against what it calls baseless and harmful claims.
Still, questions linger—especially after the President’s recent hospital visit.
On January 21, Marcos was brought to St. Luke’s Medical Center in Quezon City after experiencing discomfort. Doctors later diagnosed him with diverticulitis, a condition affecting the digestive system.
It wasn’t life-threatening—but it was enough to spark speculation.
The President himself addressed the issue, admitting he had lost some weight… but reassuring the public that he is recovering and doing well.
And now, the government is taking the next step.
Not just to correct the narrative—but to hold accountable those who spread what it considers dangerous misinformation.
Because in today’s digital age, a single post can travel fast.
But the truth?
It’s catching up.
