The Philippine government has the option to speed up the turnover of former president Rodrigo Duterte to the ICC following his arrest on Tuesday upon arrival from Hong Kong.
Of the 92 claims by public figures fact-checked by VERA Files this year, 28 came from Duterte. Notably, 17 of his claims were flip-flops on key issues such as Charter change, drug-related extra-judicial killings and his political support for Marcos.
Marcos made 15 foreign trips to 11 countries during his second year in office and received an increased travel fund of P1.4 billion in the 2024 national budget.
All agriculture-related pledges from Marcos' 2023 SONA are in progress, while two from his first SONA in 2022 remain unfulfilled.
