CLAIM: Pastor Apollo Quiboloy’s extradition has been approved.

RATING: FALSE

A YouTube uploader falsely claimed that the United States’ request to the Philippines to extradite Pastor Apollo Quiboloy has been granted.

FLAGGED CONTENT: The video’s thumbnail shows photos of Quiboloy’s arrest, Batangas Rep. Gerville “Jinky” Reyes-Luistro, and Philippine ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez.

The caption reads, “OMG! QUIBOLOY BYAHENG AMERICA? BON VOYAGE PASTOR QUIBOLOY!”

The overlay text on the thumbnail reads, “PIRMADO AT APROBADO NA NG KONGRESO…BON VOYAGE PASTOR…Isusuko na si Quiboloy sa America!”

The uploader showed an edited clip of a livestream wherein Reyes-Luistro said, “The request of the United States’ Government for the extradition of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy is hereby granted.”

OUR DEBUNK: On Aug. 26, 2025, the House Committee on Justice held an organizational meeting to conduct a motu proprio investigation in aid of legislation, on the request of the United States government for the extradition of Quiboloy.

The House Committee on Justice convened its probe, and did not meet to approve the extradition of Quiboloy. The panel has no such authority.

The extradition process follows Presidential Decree No. 1069, wherein the executive branch handles extradition requests, while the courts review and decide whether the extradition must proceed.

REWIND: On March 5, 2024, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that the Davao City Prosecutor’s office had filed charges against Quiboloy, along with several of his associates, for s*xual abuse, child abuse, and human trafficking.

On Nov. 10, 2021, a federal warrant was issued against Quiboloy for labor trafficking, s*x trafficking of women and children, conspiracy, and bulk cash smuggling, along with allegations that he had exploited church members through fraudulent visas, forced solicitations, sham marriages, and s*xual abuse.

Akbayan Rep. Perci Cendaña urged the DOJ to begin the process of Quiboloy’s extradition, after the Philippine ambassador to the United States, Jose Manuel Romualdez, confirmed a pending extradition request by the United States.

WHY WE FACT-CHECKED THIS: As of writing, the YouTube video has garnered 60,000 views and 4.600 likes.

SPOT THE FAKE: Make it a habit to visit official, unbiased, and trustworthy news outlets that’ll give you accurate, well-sourced, and verified information.

This week an article that offers a seemingly deep analysis of the massive governmental corruption we are “discovering” now is going viral. In essence, it says that the root-cause of the said problem is the shallow Christian faith in our predominantly Christian nation. The author asserts that Christianity here is all about rituals and nothing else. It is “loud in prayer, corrupt in practice.” It does not translate to transformative moral action in politics and society. And that is why despite being the only Christian nation in Asia, the Philippines is one of the most corrupt in the region.

This is not the first time, of course, that an analysis of this kind has been put forward. One version for example was the topic of a conference at the Ateneo de Manila University several years ago: “Are we poor because we are Catholics?” The problem with these analyses however is that they tend to be simplistic, facile, and therefore fraught with errors. Here are some points to consider if we are to have a deeper conversation on the issue of corruption.

First, the facts. We like to claim that the Philippines is the only Christian nation in Asia. But East Timor or Timor-Leste, a neighboring country, is ninety-seven percent Catholic. They are certainly poor but only because they just got their independence in 2002 and are therefore still struggling with putting in place the necessary democratic institutions.

Second, the correlation between religion and corruption. In the 2024 Transparency International’s corruption index, yes, the Philippines ranks the third most corrupt in Southeast Asia, next only to Myanmar (first) and Cambodia (second). On the other hand, in the wider Asian region, the most corrupt country is Syria, while the Philippines is ranked at 18. Notably, Myanmar and Syria are not Christian countries. The first is predominantly a Buddhist country with 88 percent identifying as Buddhist, while the latter is predominantly a Muslim country with 74 percent claiming to be Sunni Muslims. These data alone refute the all-too-easy causative relationship being presumed between religion and corruption. It appears from the foregoing that corruption transcends religion. Or put differently, corruption permeates all religions. Or more correctly, all of humanity, independent of religion. Which brings us to the third point which is theological.

Third, the theological aspect. In most religions, corruption falls under the discussion of sin and evil. And at least in the Judaic-Christian faith, sin and evil are part of the great mysteries of life. We do not fully understand where they originated and why God allowed them in the first place. The story of Eden of course is our attempt to grapple over these mysteries and are not meant to be literal. By and large, what the bible teaches us in its first book (Genesis) is that corruption is already with us from the very start, almost sine-qua-non of being human; it also teaches or rather prophesies in its last book (Revelations) that it will be with us till the end of time. In between these books, however, what comes out as primordial or foundational is human freedom. We sin because of this God-given gift of freedom. The alternative of course is untenable. God desires our love but there is no genuine love if he had created us as robots or automatons. Admittedly though, in her long history, the Church has been tempted to become like the totalitarian or autocratic governments today. At the height of Christendom or Christian “theocracy,” the Church went beyond preaching the Word of God and her rituals and traditions and demanded servile obedience. In the name of virtue and sanctity, she waged war against the “infidels” in her bloody crusades and notorious inquisitions. She has long repented over these crimes and abandoned temporal power and abided to what we now call the principle of the separation of Church and State. All that is left is her moral influence and her rituals and traditions.

Apologies for this long theological discourse, and this long initial piece on this subject. But in brief, the issue of corruption is complex. It is historical, cultural, political as well as personal. And not just a matter of religion. In philosophy, we commit the fallacy of reductionism when we reduce our analyses to just one simplistic point. Corruption is a multi-headed dragon. Indeed, it is harrowing and overwhelming. It has crucified even the almighty and all-powerful God. And yet as John writes: “the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”

CLAIM: Tensions between Malaysia and Philippines arise over conflicting claims on the West Philippine Sea and Sabah.

RATING: FALSE

A YouTube video posted on Aug. 15 claimed that Philippine and Malaysian warships had a “fiery” confrontation over disputed waters.

The video, from Vietnamese-speaking channel “HDTV,” reframed the Aug. 11 collision of two Chinese vessels near Bajo de Masinloc as a military standoff between Asean neighbors.

Flagged Content: A YouTube upload by “HDTV” (Aug. 15) alleges a PH–Malaysia confrontation over “disputed waters.” A Malaysian channel, “INFO SPARK HUB,” amplified similar claims on Aug. 13.

Our Debunk:

No incidents of any military exchange between the Philippines and Malaysia have been reported.

The footage used in the misleading video came from Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson Jay Tariella’s Facebook post.

The Aug. 11 incident cited was a collision of two Chinese vessels near Bajo de Masinloc, not a PH–Malaysia standoff.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines, via its official page, slammed similar content echoing the same claim from a Malaysian YouTube channel, posted Aug. 13, and urged the public to verify information on the West Philippine Sea.

Similarly, the Royal Malaysia Navy through Facebook, has debunked the dubious claim.

Rewind:

Aug. 11: Collision of two Chinese vessels near Bajo de Masinloc.

Aug. 13: Malaysian YouTube channel “INFO SPARK HUB” echoed the false PH–Malaysia “standoff” claim.

Aug. 15: Vietnamese-speaking channel “HDTV” posted the video misframing the incident as a PH–Malaysia clash.

Claim backstory cites historic issues (Sabah, South China Sea) to make the false narrative sound plausible.

Why we fact-checked this: The claim recycles regional disputes to mislead viewers and inflame tensions. It was echoed by multiple channels within days of the Aug. 11 incident.

Spot The Fake:

Check if the footage source matches the claim (e.g., official posts by the PCG or AFP).

Verify dates and locations—does the video’s “incident” line up with credible reports?

Be wary of sensational framing (“fiery standoff”) that repackages unrelated clips.

Cross-check with official statements (AFP/PCG) before sharing. Hurt Allauigan

An annoying subset of disinformation mimics real-time news “updates” on an active story — claiming arrests, releases, case dismissals, or even deaths that haven’t happened. We have noticed this on at least a tenth of our fact-checks over the past year, including the events surrounding the arrest of ex-president Rodrigo Duterte by the International Criminal Court. PressOne.PH calls it “news-cycle disinformation.”

Why it matters: News-cycle disinformation exploits peak audience attention. When audiences glued to the news demand more updates, disinformation peddlers drop fake “developments” that feel plausible.

These types of content hijack editorial cues by mimicking breaking news announcements, TV news-style chyrons, and online push alerts. Their objective is to overwork fact-checkers and outpace verification, which takes time.

Another objective is to try to shift perception in real time, perhaps even plant false memories about how a certain news story “unfolded.”

Our definition: News-cycle disinformation involves fabricated claims that latch on to an unfolding news event, presenting themselves as breaking updates within the same cycle (or immediately after), and offering premature or implausible outcomes.

Tell-tale signs: PressOne.PH has listed down the characteristics of news-cycle disinformation. Such false stories, tailor-made for social media stories or reel formats, try to ride the news cycle of a major development and announce what amounts to a false endpoint or closure.

They are event-anchored and reference an ongoing proceeding (e.g., court action, police operation, disaster).

Temporal proximity is another strategy. Such stories appear during or just outside the window of a genuine news cycle.

They peddle a false endpoint or closure. Examples are a new arrest, release from detention, dismissal of a case, or even death.

These stories also borrow the tone or visuals of news updates or bulletins.

They are platform-ready and thrive in short, sensational, video-first formats such as those on TikTok or Facebook.

Zoom in: Case in point, the ICC’s arrest of Duterte in March 2025. Premature or implausible outcomes were peddled to audiences across news cycles: “no warrant,” “case junked,” “victory secured,” posted by fakers while proceedings were still underway.

Why did this happen? Our theory is that lulls in the ICC process, combined with high political stakes, create an intense social media demand for updates.

Zoom in 3: Death hoaxes are perhaps the most common type of news-cycle disinformation Pressone.PH has observed. It targets individuals who are at the center of ongoing news coverage. These disinformation campaigns often surface while public attention is at its peak, repeating the pattern of exploiting heightened demand for updates and preying on audiences’ shock value.

Novelty bias: These stories seem to work as social media algorithms reward fresh posts, and audiences tend to reward speed. Disinformation peddlers rely on tried-and-tested news-type template factories, using counterfeit logos, labels such as “BREAKING,” stock news footage, images, or screenshots, and AI voiceovers. Spot the fake: Verification is paramount to avoid falling for these falsehoods. Anyone can fact-check the underlying information being used by these false stories as “sources.”

Arrests, deaths, warrants, and court orders should always be sourced officially, from authorized officials or official documents and press releases.

Check timestamps, time zones, and whether such endpoints or outcomes are even procedurally possible within a given timeframe.

Identify the earliest post on social media and examine the account’s bio, posting history, and record of peddling prior falsehoods.

When a video claims to have been taken “live,” frames such as buildings and signs can be reverse image-searched.

Bottom line: News-cycle disinformation peddles false closure in real time, utilizing social media users’ bias for urgency and the institutional silence required by slow judicial processes. Such sensational claims of an endpoint or closure should be treated as high-risk and unconfirmed, and subjected to stringent scrutiny and verification. Felipe F. Salvosa II and Nikko A.

CLAIM: The ICC has released a warrant for the arrest for Sen. Bato Dela Rosa.

RATING: FALSE

A YouTube video posted by the channel “Viral TV” falsely claimed that the International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued a warrant of arrest for Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, who faces accusations in relation to ex-president Rodrigo Duterte administration’s drug war.

Flagged Content: The thumbnail of the video features Dela Rosa holding a document while being surrounded by reporters.

The caption of the video reads, “Lagot! BATO Dela Rosa, HINULI na ng ICC! Warrant of Arrest NILABAS na! MAKAKASAMA na nya si DIGONG!”

A few clips of Dela Rosa being surrounded by people were used at the beginning of the video.

Our Debunk: The ICC has not released a warrant of arrest for Dela Rosa.

The photo used in the thumbnail, which supposedly shows him holding the arrest warrant, is a picture of Dela Rosa holding his Certificate of Candidacy for Senator. The photo of Dela Rosa holding his COC was taken from a Philstar.com article posted on Oct 12, 2018.

ICC records as of Aug. 20, 2025 show that there is no warrant of arrest for Dela Rosa.

Furthermore, Dela Rosa’s post on Facebook shows that he attended the Blue Ribbon Committee’s first hearing on Aug 19, 2025.

Another Facebook post by Dela Rosa on Nov 23, 2024, shows a clip of him being interviewed in front of St. Luke’s Medical Center.

Rewind: As the former chief of the Philippine National Police(PNP)under the Duterte presidency, Dela Rosa played a significant role in the administration’s anti-narcotics campaign.

The actions the Senate will take if or when an arrest warrant is released have been discussed by the chamber.

Why we’re fact-checking this: As of the time of writing, the YouTube video has amassed 19,717 views and 705 likes.

CLAIM: Vice Ganda has been arrested for disrespecting former president Rodrigo Duterte in “Super Divas: The Concert.”

RATING: FALSE

A YouTube video falsely claimed that comedian Vice Ganda was arrested for disrespecting former President Rodrigo Duterte during the recent concert, “Super Divas: The Concert.”

In the concert, Vice Ganda made a joke referring to the former president’s campaign promise to ride a jet ski and plant a Philippine flag at the Spratly Islands.

FLAGGED CONTENT: The thumbnail of the video shows a photo of Sen. Rodante Marcoleta looking aggressive, as well as Vice Ganda wearing a dark orange shirt, with hands clasped together and surrounded by people.

The caption of the video reads, “Vice Ganda, DINAMPOT na ng KAPULISAN matapos ang GINAWA nito kay RODRIGO DUTERTE at PBBM! Sara Bato.”

The overlay text on the thumbnail reads, “Vice Ganda arestado… “Mabubulok ka sa kulungan bakla!”” (Vice Ganda, arrested… “You will rot in jail, gay.”).

OUR DEBUNK: The photo of Vice Ganda on the thumbnail was taken from a video posted by a netizen in 2019, during Ayong Maliksi’s Grand rally. Marcoleta’s photo on the thumbnail was taken from the livestream of the Senate’s vote on Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial.

Marcoleta, indeed, briefly mentioned the joke made by Vice Ganda, who’s an endorser of an online gambling portal, but nothing about the comedian’s arrest was mentioned.

“Mabubulok ka sa kulungan, bakla!” was not said by Marcoleta. Rather, he said, “Napaka walanghiya ng tao na ‘yon,” during the public hearing.

The content of the video was a livestream of a Senate Committee on Games and Amusement organizational meeting and public hearing.

After the concert, Vice Ganda went back to hosting on “It’s Showtime”

No official documents are available to prove that Vice Ganda was taken into custody.

REWIND: On the first day of Vice Ganda and Regine Velasquez-Olcasid’s two-day concert, “Super Divas: The Concert,” at the Araneta Coliseum, the two made a skit about the viral “Jet2Holiday” meme and changed it to “Jet ski holiday”.

Vice Ganda’s joke refers to the former president’s promise to ride a jet ski to the Spratly Islands and plant a Philippine flag there, which was later revealed as a mere “campaign joke.”

Supporters of Duterte were furious because of this. On Aug. 11, a draft resolution circulated online declaring Vice Ganda as “persona non grata” in Davao. This was denied by acting Vice Mayor Rodrigo “Rigo” Duterte II, who said the city council had more important matters to attend to rather than entertaining “cheap insults and distasteful jokes made for clout.”

Vice President Sara Duterte said in an interview that she’d let the city council of Davao decide whether or not to declare Vice Ganda as persona non grata.

WHY WE FACT-CHECKED THIS: As of writing, the YouTube video has garnered 3,061 views and 107 likes.

SPOT THE FAKE: Clickbait tactics are now used to spread disinformation.

Avoid getting victimized by this type of content by checking if the visuals on the video’s thumbnail match the claim of the uploaded content.

Moreover, take time to scrutinize the overall content before drawing conclusions. Daniela Angelyn Solis
