FALSE

A Facebook (FB) page claiming to be that of Veronica “Kitty” Duterte, former president Rodrigo’s youngest daughter, posted an image of a supposed video call between the two, saying that her father will return soon. This is fake.

The May 13 post bore a photo of Kitty with an inset image of her father in the top right corner, appearing to be in a video call. The image was overlaid with the text:

“Vedio (sic) call with my Dada

congratulations Dada makakauwi kana Soon (you’ll be coming home soon).”

Contrary to the caption, Duterte is not returning to the Philippines any time soon.

The page that uploaded this post is an impostor. The photo of the supposed video call is actually a splice of two different images.
