On July 26, President Rodrigo Duterte delivered his sixth and final State of the Nation Address (SONA), which lasted approximately two hours and 46 minutes.
For the fifth year in a row, VERA Files Fact Check monitored real-time the president’s claims about his administration’s achievements, with only 11 months before he steps down from office.
Here’s a roundup of our live fact checks.
(Guided by the code of principles of the International Fact-Checking Network at Poynter, VERA Files tracks the false claims, flip-flops, misleading statements of public officials and figures, and debunks them with factual evidence. Find out more about this initiative and our methodology.)
