In a cinematic spectacle that puts Hollywood to shame, the “polvoron video” teaser premiered in America and Canada, thanks to the audacious Maharlika and company.

Hoping to evade the long arm of justice, they released this digital marvel abroad. Almost instantly, savvy netizens exposed the video as a shoddy AI creation. The debunking reached Sherlock Holmes levels of sleuthing when the original clip was found—revealing Bongbong Marcos’ face clumsily superimposed.

The hilarity peaked with the realization that the hairstyle and rounded ears in the fake video were a far cry from the real Marcos, Jr.

Cue the frantic deleting spree as those who eagerly posted and reposted the video now scurry like mice, erasing their social media tracks and Messenger chats.

What a performance! It’s clear the real drama isn’t in the video itself, but in the aftermath of its spectacular flop.

And by the way, to prove that it’s so easy to create fake videos, we found this version starring no other than the fentanyl-crazed Rodrigo Duterte!
