Palace warns vs Marcos ‘deepfake’ video ordering military action vs ‘particular foreign country’

MANILA, Philippines: Malacañang warned the public against a manipulated video circulating online featuring an audio of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. supposedly ordering the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to “act against a particular foreign country.”

In a statement, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said the President has “no such directive” and the audio “deepfake” was created using generative artificial intelligence (AI).
