Malacañang condemned the circulation of fabricated medical documents falsely attributed to President Marcos, calling the claims malicious and warning of possible legal action against those spreading the fake records.

In a statement late Wednesday, Jan. 28, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said the alleged medical document being shared online “is FAKE.”

“The document being circulated is FAKE. It did not originate from any legitimate medical examination of the President and does not reflect his current health condition,” it said.

The Palace said President Marcos “is well, fully capable of discharging his official responsibilities, and continues to actively perform his duties.”

President Marcos was recently diagnosed with diverticulitis, a condition that he said is not life-threatening. However, since his diagnosis, the President was not able to attend his public commitments and only attended either private meetings or events not open to the public or the media.

Malacañang has repeatedly said that Marcos was in good condition.

The PCO said the deliberate spread of falsified medical information violates the President’s right to privacy and undermines public trust in institutions.

“The deliberate spread of falsified medical information is irresponsible, deceptive, and a clear violation of the President’s right to privacy,” it said.

The Palace urged the public to rely only on official statements from authorized government sources and to stop amplifying unverified content.

“Appropriate legal options are being reviewed in connection with the circulation of fabricated documents and false information,” the PCO added.

This week, an email and Viber message from one “Naman S. Puri” was sent to members of the Malacañang Press Corps, claiming that the President’s condition “has deteriorated severely due to drug use.”

“Key developments include the formation of a cyst and a clear signs of perforation, which could lead to life-threatening complications if not addressed immediately,” the message read.

PCO Undersecretary Claire Castro has denied the allegations and urged the public to rely only on official announcements.

St. Luke’s Medical Center separately confirmed that medical test results circulating online and claiming to pertain to President Marcos are fake and falsified.

In a public advisory dated Jan. 28, St. Luke’s said it was aware of medical test results “falsely circulating online and on social media” claiming to pertain to President Marcos.

“These documents are FAKE and FALSIFIED,” the hospital wrote in its advisory posted on its Facebook page.

St. Luke’s stressed that it strictly upholds patient confidentiality and data privacy, noting that medical results are released only to patients through authorized hospital channels.

“Any medical results or documents obtained, posted, shared, or circulated outside these authorized channels are considered unauthorized, fraudulent, or falsified,” the hospital said.

The medical center warned that sharing a patient’s medical information without authority constitutes a breach of data privacy and may expose individuals to legal consequences.

Meanwhile, President Marcos assured the public that he is in good health and has fully resumed his official duties at Malacañang.

In a video shared on social media on Wednesday evening, the President said he has already presided over key meetings, including the 7th Economic and Development Council (EDC) meeting.

“Binigyan lang ako ng mga gamot at patuloy pa rin yung aking antibiotics. Pero okay na ako (I was just given medication, and I’m still on antibiotics, but I’m okay now),” he said.

The President said he continues working despite doctors advising him to take things slowly.

“So I'm back in,” he said, adding that he has more meetings lined up at the Palace.

Marcos also shared that he has been cleared to eat solid food after being on a liquid diet.

“Ngayon pwede na, kanina kumain na ako ng hamburger (Now I’m allowed; earlier I already ate a hamburger),” he said.

President Marcos thanked the public for their concern and well-wishes, saying he is back on a regular work schedule after receiving proper medical care.

“Maraming salamat sa lahat ng tao (Thank you to everyone) who have been concerned about my health,” he said.
