Rappler has conducted a fact check confirming that DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla remains in his position as Interior Secretary, contrary to false claims circulating on social media. The misinformation originated from a Facebook reel that claimed Remulla had been removed from office, featuring a video with photos of Remulla, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla, Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte, and vlogger Claire Contreras. The video text stated, 'LIGWAK SI JONVIC REMULLA! SIBAK SA PUWESTO?! BOYING ISUSUNOD NA?' (Jonvic Remulla out! Dismissed from his post?! Is Boying next?). The false claim was based on Remulla's earlier statement that Harry Roque's asylum application had been denied, which Roque later clarified was incorrect. Roque stated, 'My application for asylum has been submitted for resolution, and I continue to await the official decision of the competent Austrian asylum authorities.' Remulla later admitted errors in his previous claims about Roque's asylum bid, stating, 'In his case, it's neither denied nor accepted. So under the eyes of the law, he still does not have asylum.' Malacañang, the official residence of the President, indicated that while Remulla might face scrutiny for his previous statements, there are no plans for his dismissal. Palace press officer Claire Castro explained, 'If he has admitted to making a mistake and assuming it wasn't intended to mislead the public, then Secretary Jonvic's statements could certainly be called out. However, we should also examine whether it was intentional or done in bad faith.' This fact check follows previous Rappler fact checks on similar false claims about public officials' dismissals, including Hontiveros, Romualdez, Ombudsman Remulla, Bato dela Rosa, Padilla, and Sara Duterte. The article emphasizes the importance of verifying information before sharing it on social media to prevent the spread of misinformation.
