Blood Seen on the Teeth of President Marcos Alarms Viewers
President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. caught the attention of netizens after what appeared to be blood was seen on his lower teeth during his speech on Araw ng Kagitingan (Day of Valor) on Wednesday, April 9.
The speech, aired by Radio Television Malacañang (RTVM), showed the President speaking clearly during the first few minutes, with no visible issues. However, halfway through his address, viewers noticed a red stain on his lower teeth, which many believed to be blood. This prompted speculation online about a possible mouth or gum injury.
Some netizens suggested that the mark might have come from bleeding lips or gums, while others raised concerns about the President’s overall health. One comment read, “Our President needs immediate medical attention,” while others expressed hope and prayers for his well-being, saying, “Please take care of yourself, Mr. President.”
As of now, Malacañang has not released an official statement about the incident, leaving the public to wonder about the President’s condition.
The moment quickly went viral, with many Filipinos discussing the issue on social media and urging the President to prioritize his health. Despite the concern, the President continued and completed his speech without interruption.
