Binira ni Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) General Manager (GM) Nicolas Torre III ang mga nagpapakalat ng dati niyang video ukol sa naganap na demonstrasyon noong Setyembre 21, 2025 na bumatikos sa malawakang korapsyon sa bansa.
Sa isang pahayag na ibinahagi ni GM Torre sa kaniyang Facebook post nitong Miyerkules, Hulyo 1, ginagamit umano ngayon ang video sa maling konteksto; kasabay ang isinasagawang rally ng religious group na Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) sa EDSA People Power Monument bilang pagsuporta kay Sen. Rodante Marcoleta.
“An old video of mine, originally uploaded on September 20, 2025, is now being circulated as though it were a statement about current events. It is not,” tahasang paglalahad ni GM Torre.
Aniya, “That video was recorded on the eve of the September 21, 2025 demonstrations, during a completely different political situation. Removing that context changes its meaning and creates a false narrative.”
“I welcome honest disagreement. Democracy depends on the free exchange of ideas. But it also depends on something equally important: presenting facts completely and truthfully,” dagdag pa niya.

Hinikayat din ng MMDA general manager na suriin ng bawat isa ang tunay at orihinal na video, na siyang ibinahagi niya sa comment section ng naturang Facebook post.
“For everyone who wants to judge fairly, I have pinned the original, unedited September 20, 2025 upload in the first comment,” anang MMDA general manager.
“I encourage everyone to watch it in its entirety and decide based on the complete context—not on recycled clips or selective editing,” dagdag pa niya.
“Truth deserves context. And our public discourse deserves honesty,” pagtatapos ni GM Torre.
