FALSE. Sheerah Escudero lies about being a relative of an extrajudicial killing (EJK) victim.
FACT. There is no verified evidence that Escudero falsely claimed to be a relative of an EJK victim.
The photo being shared alongside the accusation does exist and dates back to 2019. In the image, Escudero is seen participating in an event while wearing a sash bearing the message “Stop the Killings,” a slogan commonly associated with anti-EJK campaigns.
Escudero has been publicly active in social issue advocacies, particularly in youth and campus-based movements, where her advocacy is rooted in her personal experience as a sister of a victim of EJK — Ephraim Escudero.
In her public statements, Escudero positions herself as a family member seeking accountability and justice for her loved one. She does not present herself as a direct victim but as a relative affected by the incident.
Being present in advocacy events and speaking out against violence does not contradict her account; rather, it aligns with her stated motivations.
The viral image has been reshared with added captions that may alter or frame its original context. The claims questioning her account resurfaced amid renewed public discussions surrounding former President Rodrigo Duterte’s ICC proceedings related to the war on drugs, amplifying unverified narratives online.
