“The obviously fake video circulating of a MAISUG meeting in Los Angeles is yet another malicious, gross attempt to destabilize the government of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. They will not succeed!” DND spokesman Arsenio Andolong said in a statement on Monday (July 22).
Andolong said the release of the fabricated video in the US is a “cowardly attempt to evade Philippine criminal justice.”
He also urged US authorities to investigate and bring the perpetrators of this act to justice.
