Reaction TV PH falsely claimed that Vice President Sara Duterte revealed former president Rodrigo Duterte would be released, framing it as a 'slip of the tongue'Former president Rodrigo Duterte is set to be released from the International Criminal Court’s detention, according to his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte.A YouTube channel named Reaction TV PH posted the video containing the claim on August 22. The video has more than 230,000 views and over 2,600 comments, as of writing..

It featured a clip of the Vice President speaking to her Facebook Live viewers. In the clip, she was standing outside a shopping center in the Netherlands, waiting for her half-sister Kitty Duterte, who had gone to the bathroom.“Naa na siya. Asa na man to siya? Oo, lalabas na ‘yan si PRRD. I-jailbreak na ‘yan natin lahat.”The video quickly went viral and misled some viewers.

Aside from the Vice President’s statement, the 30-minute video showed no proof to support the claim about Duterte’s release. Instead, it included some unrelated content before it got to a segment about what was claimed in the title, making it difficult for viewers to locate the part where Sara Duterte made the complete statement.Due to the ongoing deliberations over the conditions and circumstances surrounding his case, the appeal was placed on hold on July 23.
