Actor Joshua Garcia became a trending topic on X after social media users noticed that a TikTok video about the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte had apparently been reposted through his account.
The video, originally uploaded on July 11, compiled highlights from the first three days of Duterte’s impeachment trial and carried hashtags including #SaraDuterte, #VPSara, #PRRD, and #DDS. It also featured appearances by members of both the defense and prosecution panels, including Atty. Sheila Sison, Atty. Carlo Narvasa, Atty. Virgil Ligutan, and Atty. Gerville Luistro.
Screenshots of the apparent repost quickly circulated on X, prompting speculation about Garcia’s political views. Some users questioned whether the actor supports Duterte, while others cautioned against drawing conclusions based solely on the repost.
One user wrote, “Joshua Garcia is DDS?” while another commented, “Dds agad?? Di ba pwedeng aware lang siya sa current events??”
The discussion soon spilled over to X, where users shared varying opinions. Some criticized the actor over the alleged repost, while others defended him, saying there was not enough basis to conclude that it reflected his political stance.
Garcia has not publicly addressed the repost or clarified whether it was intentional or representative of his personal views. His management has likewise yet to issue a statement on the matter.
As of writing, it remains unclear whether the repost was deliberate or accidental, and no additional information has been released by the actor or his representatives regarding the online speculation.
