Manila, Philippines β Social media personality and self-proclaimed philanthropist Francis Leo Marcos is once again at the center of controversy β but this time, the accusations are heavier, clearer, and far more dangerous.
After months of silent investigations, multiple sources, including former close associates, have come forward with explosive evidence allegedly exposing the truth behind his identity and his so-called generosity. Among the claims:
He is not a real Marcos
His “philanthropy” was a front to solicit funds from unsuspecting donors
He allegedly orchestrated βfake donation drivesβ using emotional videos to gain public trust
βThis isnβt just about faking a name. This is about manipulating the public at a national scale,β said an investigative journalist who reviewed documents tied to the case.
π΅οΈ The Identity: Who Is He Really?
Contrary to his public persona as a member of the Marcos political family, Francis Leo Marcos (FLM) is reportedly not related to former President Ferdinand Marcos or any legitimate member of the Marcos clan.
A certified document from the Office of the Civil Registrar surfaced this week showing that his birth name is Norman Mangusin, born in Baguio City β with no documented familial connection to the Marcoses.
βHe adopted the name for clout,β said a former associate.
βThe goal was to appear elite, powerful, and connected β to open doors, and more importantly, wallets.βhttps://youtu.be/czHbmuJVWvE?si=G47vLji32oVutxL4
π° The Alleged Scam: Fake Generosity?
While FLM gained popularity during the pandemic for his flashy videos distributing sacks of rice and handing out money, several witnesses now claim that:
Many of the giveaways were staged, involving paid extras
The goods given were donated by real people, but FLM took the credit
He used his online fame to solicit donations via GCash and bank transfers, with little to no accounting for the funds
A whistleblower who worked in his media team said:
βThere were days we gave nothing. Just filmed it. He told us: βPeople believe what they see.ββ
π The Evidence: Leaked Files & Voice Recordings
A 32-page dossier sent to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) includes:
Screenshots of conversations allegedly instructing staff to fabricate stories
Copies of bank transfers linked to fake foundations
Voice recordings of FLM allegedly discussing how to avoid tax declarations on donations
One clip features a voice sounding like FLM saying:
βKahit wala tayong relief goods ngayon, mag-post pa rin tayo ng lumang video. Para patuloy ang padala.β
π± Public Reaction: From Idol to Outrage
Fans who once defended him as a βmodern-day Robin Hoodβ are now flooding social media with shock and anger.
βI donated three times. I feel sick.β β @PinoyHearted
βHe used our hope and made a mockery of those who were really struggling.β β @TulunganTayoPH
βI trusted him. My mother trusted him.β β @KabayanSaQC
Hashtags like #FrancisLeoExposed, #FLMScam, and #JusticeForDonors are now trending across platforms.
βοΈ Legal Consequences Coming?
Authorities have confirmed that investigations are ongoing. The NBI, Cybercrime Division, and even the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) are looking into:
Estafa and fraud
Illegal solicitation
Misrepresentation of identity
Tax evasion
βIf these allegations are proven, this could mean years in prison and full seizure of assets,β said Atty. Renan Diaz, a legal expert on online fraud.
π’ Final Word
Francis Leo Marcos once called himself a savior of the poor. Now, he faces the possibility of being one of the countryβs most high-profile scammers.
As authorities piece together the truth, one thing remains clear:
Good deeds done for bad reasons are not charity β theyβre deception.
