Bongbong Marcos admitted he is the mastermind behind the flood control corruption scandal.

Publisher’s rating: False

Related reporting says former governor Luis Singson accused Marcos of masterminding the flood-control scandal, but Malaya reported that Singson presented no evidence for the allegation. Mabuhay News describes Singson quoting Marcos as saying “ako ang maglalantad at hero pa ako”; the excerpt does not establish that Marcos admitted to masterminding corruption.

Thirty-six crore rupees went missing from the Inland Revenue Department (an old 2023 report recirculated as recent news).

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The claim recirculated a report about 36 crores allegedly missing from the Inland Revenue Department as a recent incident, but the report dated to April 4, 2023. The review says the department’s Commissioner General confirmed there had been no recent incident of this kind, while official collection figures also differed from those cited in the claim.

FACTLYWar & conflict

Former Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan admitted he was denied a free hand during “Operation Sindoor,” was forced to resign due to political decisions, and regretted launching the operation.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY found that Chauhan’s original farewell speech included no remarks about political interference, Operation Sindoor or regrets over military operations. It reports that PIB Fact Check identified the circulating video as an AI-generated deepfake. The review quotes Chauhan describing his tenure as “very satisfying and excellent.”
