The Philippine government has raised concerns over a deepfake audio clip that falsely depicted President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordering military action against China. The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) reported the incident, prompting Justice Secretary Remulla to direct the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to probe the matter. Remulla's order stemmed from the PCO and DICT's findings. The government suspects that a foreign actor may be behind the creation of this deepfake content.
