Pinabulaanan ng independent news media organization na VERA Files, ang kumakalat sa social media na quote card umano ng isang hukom ng International Criminal Court (ICC) na nag-“authorize” sa pagbabalik ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa Pilipinas ngayong 2026.
“No such statement appears on the ICC’s official website or social media pages. Duterte will remain in custody after the ICC Appeals Chamber rejected in November 2025 his appeal for interim release,” saad ng VERA Files.
Anila, peke umano ang naturang quote card at wala ring record ng pahayag ng naturang hukom ang makikita sa website ng ICC, maging sa social media pages ng international tribunal.
Nahanap ng VERA Files ang naturang quote card sa isang Facebook post noong Enero 1 kung saan galing umano kay “Judge Whitney Solomy Balungi Tyson Bossa” ang pahayag sa pag-“authorize” sa pagbabalik ni Digong sa Pilipinas.
“I now authorize the International Trial Court to facilitate Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s return to the Philippines in 2026 as a statement of support for the calls… As we enter the year 2026, amnesty is hereby granted to Rodrigo Roa Duterte and his cohorts,” mababasa sa quote card.
Nilinaw ng VERA Files na mananatiling nasa kustodiya ng international tribunal ang dating pangulo at wala ring nakalista na hukom na ‘Bossa’ sa ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I.
Ang ginamit din na litrato ng ICC judge sa quote card ay posibleng “deepfake”, ayon pa sa VERA Files.
“A reverse image search using PimEyes, an advanced facial recognition tool, along with a cursory search on Google, reveals that the deepfake image in the fake quote card used photos of Ugandan ICC Judge Solomy Balungi Bossa and a well-known comedian during the 90s, Whitney Tyson,” saad pa nila.
