Hospital says viral Marcos medical results 'fake and falsified'
The supposed medical records of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. circulating online are fake, according to St. Luke's Medical Center.
In a public advisory shared on Facebook on Wednesday, Jan. 28, the hospital said the viral test results are "fake and falsified," noting it "strictly upholds patient confidentiality and data privacy."
"Medical results are released only to the patient himself/herself through authorized and official hospital channels," it said.
"Any medical results or documents obtained, posted, shared, or circulated outside these authorized channels are considered unauthorized, fraudulent, or falsified," it added, warning that posting or sharing of a patient's medical information is a breach of data privacy and is punishable by law.
SLMC also reminded the public to be careful in sharing unverified information, which can lead to misinformation and legal consequences.
This comes after the Palace stressed that the medical document going viral after Marcos' hospitalization for diverticulitis is fake. "The medical document being circulated is FAKE, is not the result of any legitimate medical examination, and does not reflect the President’s health," it said in a statement. "The President is well, fully capable of performing his duties, and continues to discharge his official responsibilities."
In a video released on the PCO Facebook page, Marcos said he's doing fine now. "Okay na. Ang galing ng mga doktor ko, binigyan lang ako ng mga gamot at saka antibiotics, okay na ako," he shared. "In fact, nakapag-EDC meeting na kami with most of my cabinet. So I'm back."
When asked about his absence during the 2025 Gawad Lingkod Bayani Awards in Malacañang scheduled that day, Marcos simply said he had more important things to do and rest was not among his options.
"Maraming salamat sa lahat ng tao concerned about my health," Marcos said. "Thank you for your concern. I got the best possible healthcare you can have that's why I'm already back in harness."
