The fact is three of the ships were commissioned under the Duterte administration, while the other three were commissioned during former president Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III’s term.

While the post did not mention infrastructure projects during Noynoy Aquino’s term, many of the recently-inaugurated projects by the Duterte government were actually initiated by the previous administration under its flagship Public-Private Partnership.

The Nov. 19 graphic carried a photo of Imee and a quote that appeared directed at President Rodrigo Duterte for his innuendo about a presidential aspirant who uses cocaine. It was published with the text “Satire MemesHor.”

The photo was actually taken during a caravan organized two days before by supporters of the former senator Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., who is also running for president in the May 2022 elections.

It was actually taken at his miting de avance in Mandaluyong in May 2016.

The statement attributed to Marcos is made up.

A cursory search showed the clip was lifted from a 13-minute-long YouTube video that was already flagged as false by VERA Files Fact Check last May.

The president also did not name the person nor provide evidence of the allegation.

The Comelec is expected to hear the first petition on Nov. 26.

Robredo was responding to a question about her “edge” over other presidential aspirants. The press conference at the Sorsogon Provincial Gym was broadcast live on Facebook (FB) by local media outlets, including 102.3 Spiritfm Sorsogon.

Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI) News, the news broadcasting arm of televangelist Apollo Quiboloy, erroneously reported that presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. “passed” his bachelor’s degree in social studies at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom.

The only record held by the Marcoses in the Guinness World Records is the title for the “greatest robbery of a government.”
