Claim: A Facebook post claims the UN accused the Philippines' then-ruling party of misusing disaster relief funds for election campaigning, citing a press conference given by a UN special rapporteur. The rapporteur told AFP he never made that claim, his report on the Philippines does not make the claim, and the screenshot used in the false post is from a TV news clip available online that does not make that claim.
