THE Philippine Army’s 10th Infantry Division has denounced an AI-generated image falsely portraying its troops endorsing the fugitive senator Ronald dela Rosa, warning that the fabricated image misrepresents the military’s political neutrality.
In a “Fake News Alert” issued over the weekend, the 10th Infantry (Agila) Division said the image circulating on social media falsely depicted its personnel expressing political support for dela Rosa.
The division said the manipulated image could mislead the public and undermine the professionalism and political neutrality of military personnel.
The image showed armed soldiers posing on an armored vehicle in front of the division’s main gate while holding a banner bearing the words, “We support Senator Bato dela Rosa.”
The circulating social media card carried a post attributed to the “1st Infantry Tabak Division Philippine Army” page and posted by a user identified as Regis Paller Enrique. Its caption read, “good job we salute 10ID troopers.”
The 10ID urged the public to verify information through official sources before sharing unverified posts, stressing that its official positions and statements are communicated only through authorized channels.
It also reiterated its commitment to serving Filipinos without political affiliation or preference and condemned the misuse of artificial intelligence to misrepresent its personnel.
Dela Rosa, in hiding since November 2025, is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity, in relation to his role as police chief during the Duterte administration’s bloody war on drugs, in which thousands of suspects were killed. Former president Rodrigo Duterte is already in The Hague, awaiting trial.
