SC denies receiving fake petition for Marcos Jr. resignation

The Supreme Court (SC) denied receiving a fabricated petition with 16 million signatures calling for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s resignation, clarifying that no such petition was received and no En Banc session was scheduled for this matter.

This false information, which spread on Facebook and included a fake SC header, claimed the SC accepted the petition on March 17, 2025, stating it reflected the people's will and would be consolidated with other petitions for Marcos' accountability.

The SC vowed to investigate the disinformation and impose sanctions, urging the public to rely on official announcements.

Lanao del Sur Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong called these fake claims a desperate tactic to distract and deceive the people, thanking the SC for quickly debunking the disinformation attempt.

Adiong stressed that the law must be implemented against those spreading these online statements, describing it as a reckless attempt to divert public attention and a blatant act of deception meant to sow confusion.
