FALSE. A viral YouTube video claims that the Supreme Court of the Philippines has ordered a mandatory drug test for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
FACT. The Supreme Court has not issued any ruling requiring Marcos to undergo a drug test. There is no official directive or enforceable order mandating such action.
The video, which has gained thousands of views, misrepresents a pending legal petition as if it were already a final court decision. It uses a sensational title and thumbnail to suggest that the Court has issued a “strong order,” despite offering no evidence of an actual ruling.
The claim originates from a petition for mandamus filed before the Supreme Court by the United People’s Initiative. The petition seeks to compel President Marcos to undergo a drug test and disclose his health records.
However, the Court has not ruled on the petition. Recent developments only confirm that the justices required concerned parties to submit their comments—a standard procedural step that does not indicate approval or enforcement of the request.
As of now, there is no verified or official action from the Supreme Court mandating a drug test for the President.
