Description:

Claim: Amid the Philippines’ energy emergency, a shipment of Russian crude oil was sent to the country because of the Dutertes.
The facts: The Dutertes are not linked to the delivery of Russian crude oil to the Philippines. The Inquirer.net report referenced in the TikTok video never mentions the Dutertes or their alleged role in the Russia oil purchase. The video merely juxtaposes the news report headline and the name of the oil tanker, “Sara Sky,” to imply that they are linked.
