VP Sara Duterte calls photo of ex-Pres Duterte in hospital fake

Vice President Sara Duterte debunked a circulating photograph showing her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, in a hospital bed, calling it "fake" and likely edited.

She stated that the former president is healthier and "glowing" despite losing a lot of weight, noting that his face did not sag.

According to the Vice President, the photograph might have been edited with another patient's body and the former president's face superimposed.

She clarified that he is not in the hospital section of the International Criminal Court's (ICC) detention unit but in its regular wing.

The Vice President mentioned that he was seen walking independently with a cane earlier that day, indicating he is not bedridden.
