Three days before stepping down, President Rodrigo Duterte admitted to using his powers as chief executive to turn lawmakers against ABS-CBN. This was contrary to earlier claims that he did not interfere in the non-renewal of the broadcasting network’s legislative franchise.
Undersecretary Lorraine Badoy of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) made a misleading claim that the Supreme Court had ruled that “there is no danger to life, liberty and security when you are identified as a member of the CPP NPA NDF.”
Outgoing President Rodrigo Duterte’s statement that two “Dutertes” will sit as president and vice president of the country for 11 days due to the unprecedented early inauguration of his daughter, vice president-elect Sara Duterte-Carpio, is misleading.

The claim of outgoing President Rodrigo Duterte that the country is no longer a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC) needs context.
