A video of former executive secretary Vic Rodriguez supposedly calling for the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte has been reposted by several users on Facebook (FB). This is false.
A viral FB reel published on May 10 claimed that Rodriguez has now turned his back on the Dutertes, showing a clip of him supposedly saying:
“Hanapin din natin ang bilyon-bilyong pisong ninanakaw sa gobyerno ni Vice President Inday Sara Duterte dahil narinig po ninyo sa akin at uulitin ko, i-impeach at tatanggalin bilang pangalawang pangulo si Vice President Inday Sara Duterte.”
(Let’s also look for the billions of pesos stolen from the government by Vice President Inday Sara Duterte because you heard me and I will repeat, Vice President Inday Sara Duterte will be impeached and removed as vice president.)
Two other FB users reposted the same video with captions such as:
“Vic Rodriguez Bumaliktad na Gustong Ma impeach si Sara Duterte (Vic Rodriguez changed his mind, wants Sara Duterte impeached)” and “Ito Ang letiral na balingbing (This is the literal turncoat).”
The circulating reels cut out significant portions of Rodriguez’s original statement from his video last year, where he called on the public to protect the vice president from impeachment.
