A widely shared social media post claiming that the Philippine Supreme Court has issued a verdict compelling President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to disclose his medical records is false, according to a fact-check by Rappler. The court issued only a routine procedural order on April 22, directing Marcos and Executive Secretary Ralph Recto to comment within ten days on a petition for a writ of mandamus — a legal instrument used to compel a public official to perform a duty — filed by former House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez and others seeking disclosure of the president's physical and mental health records, including a drug test. The Marcos administration has said it will comply with the order while maintaining the president is in good health, and the Supreme Court has yet to decide whether to even formally take up the case.
