FACT CHECK: Video of Padilla supporting Marcos-Robredo tandem is AI-generated 04.06.2026

A video circulating on Facebook, which garnered significant views and engagement since its May 24 posting, falsely claims Senator Robin Padilla endorsed President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and former Vice President Leni Robredo as the country's most effective and incorruptible leaders. Analysis by AI detection tools from Hive Moderation, Deepware Scanner, and Sight Engine consistently flagged the video as overwhelmingly likely to be AI-generated, with probabilities ranging from 99.1% for AI-generated speech to 99.9% for AI-generated content. This fabricated statement starkly contrasts with Padilla's known political stance as a staunch supporter of the Dutertes, who are currently in a political dispute with Marcos. Extensive online searches and news reports failed to corroborate Padilla making such remarks.
