After disclosing that "almost all" soldiers had been vaccinated against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), President Rodrigo Duterte has claimed he "did not know" about the inoculation of his close-in security personnel.

There are no news reports about Dacera’s body being brought to a “Makati Funeral Homes.”

No such incident has been reported by the media or Nuezca's legal camp.

Fernando Zobel de Ayala made no mention of Robredo nor any other “opposition” member in the briefing.

The fake report stated that the claim is based on “findings from a University of California study” conducted on 1,500 men. Not true.

This is misleading. A voice-over reiterated the misleading claim about Atienza in the first minute of the video but nowhere in the footage did Duterte mention his name or any particular lawmaker.

A four-minute video that falsely claims Police Senior Master Sergeant Jonel Nuezca was killed by fellow inmates. This is false.

President Rodrigo Duterte mistakenly claimed that all the judges of the International Criminal Court (ICC) are “White” when he responded to the December 2020 update of the court’s preliminary examination into alleged crimes against humanity committed in the government’s war on drugs.

Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo made two inaccurate claims on the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) ongoing preliminary examination into alleged crimes against humanity committed in President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs.

A Web search does not turn up any news report where DeGeneres praised Duterte.

The Pasig City mayor said no such thing. It’s an altered quote card.

The Philippines, functioning under one of the world’s longest lockdowns amid the pandemic, is pinning its hopes on a vaccine to fight coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The vaccine has not reached its shores but a wave of misinformation about it has started to spread.
