The pages of at least four pro-Duterte figures are unavailable on Facebook following the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte

MANILA, Philippines — The Facebook pages of at least four prominent pro-Duterte personalities were inaccessible as of Friday noon, February 7.

As early as Thursday night, February 6, several Facebook users noticed the pages of the following pro-Duterte figures were unavailable on the platform:

As of writing, the URLs of the aforementioned Facebook pages read, “This content isn’t available right now.”

As of posting time, it remains unclear why these pages are unavailable on the platform. Facebook’s parent company Meta usually removes pages after they violate its Community Standards and/or have been reported by other users on the platform.

However, some pro-Duterte Facebook users already began blaming the Marcos administration for supposedly taking down these pages.

This comes after the bitter public fallout between Vice President Sara Duterte and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., as well as the recent impeachment of the Vice President. Pro-Duterte users on Facebook have also been attacking Marcos and his allies online, following what they call the “political persecution” of the Duterte family.

Recently, Sasot, Chu, and Badoy were also among the pro-Duterte personalities who snubbed the February 4 hearing on online disinformation at the House of Representatives. This is also not the first time the Facebook pages of Sasot and Badoy became unavailable on the platform.
