The facts
Neither Remulla nor his brother, Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla, made the statement. The Ombudsman disclosed a leukemia diagnosis in 2023 and has said he has been cancer-free since then, adding he would file complaints against people spreading false claims about his health. The posts, published on 9 and 10 November 2026, drew at least 1,716 reactions.
