DSWD is not hosting such a giveaway on its official website, or in its Facebook and Twitter accounts.

An old photo of Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno'' Domagoso working while hooked up to a bag of fluids was revived this week by several Facebook (FB) accounts, including the FB page of a lawyer who had worked as a social media consultant for the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO). It needs context.

This is false. Nowhere in the video did Duterte mention Trillanes, nor did he mention the P245-million cash transaction between him and PNoy.

They were from Brazil and Mexico.

The DSWD advises the public to immediately report and to not patronize the account.

The TV host says, “I never said this nor created this meme.”

The president has made no such orders against the Manila auxiliary bishop.

The comparison was based on surveys by different polling agencies in different time periods.

The Philippine News Agency (PNA), a state-run newswire service, reported that the Philippines ranked 2nd in Southeast Asia in terms of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination rollout. Its basis was a comparison of the number of vaccines administered per country in the region.

In explaining the government’s directive to keep using face masks and face shields to help control the transmission and spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Palace Spokesperson Harry Roque wrongly equated the protection from using these protective gear to getting vaccinated against the disease.

None of the ingredients in any of the vaccines are sources of electric and magnetic fields (EMFs), according to a team of health experts from global technology nonprofit Meedan.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque twisted Vice President Leni Robredo’s positive reaction to a senator’s proposal for her to appear with President Rodrigo Duterte in an informative commercial (infomercial) to help boost public confidence in the vaccine against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

“We haven't observed anyone that has been given the vaccine and yet produced more symptoms,” said Rontgene Solante, infectious disease specialist and a member of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Vaccine Expert Panel in a May 21 interview.

“The vaccine does not inject the virus itself,” said Rontgene Solante, infectious disease specialist and member of the Vaccine Expert Panel of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) in a May 21 interview.

It has not been scheduled for discussion in the House of Representatives.

The video's content, which is packaged with other unrelated issues, makes no mention of Duterte or his supposed disclosure about Pacquiao's debt.

The novel coronavirus has changed more than 10,000 times since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

As the Philippine government continues to roll out coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines to its target of 70 million people, anti-vaccine advocates shared a social media post in May wrongly claiming COVID-19 vaccines contain fetal tissue.
