They don’t do motorcades or rallies with thousands of people in attendance. Instead, presidential candidate Panfilo “Ping” Lacson and his running mate Vicente “Tito” Sotto III prefer engaging with people from different sectors of society.

The May 9 election for President of the Philippines is going to be a historic one, one way or the other.

All three posts flagged by VERA Files Fact Check ridiculed the rally.

A reader asked VERA Files Fact Check to look into the claim.

Love filled the air in Pasig City’s business district as thousands braved the scorching summer heat to show support to the presidential bid of Leni Robredo, her running mate, Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, and their eight senatorial candidates Sunday.

The radio station disowned the claim.

She was talking about a recent disinformation narrative targeting Robredo.

This is not the first time Gonzaga figured in a satirical post that misled people.

​ What vested interest does China have in the forthcoming presidential elections?

There were no ropes in the original.

Neither Duterte nor Calida ever made a pronouncement to take away any license of Jimenez’s.

Presidential candidate Dr. Jose “Joey” Montemayor, who is against mandatory vaccination, claimed that the number of fully vaccinated individuals in the Philippines has not reached 30 million as of early March. This is false.

It’s been years since I’ve attended a political rally, and more than a decade since I attended one for a presidential candidate. But I found myself with a ringside seat at the UniTeam’s Barotac Nuevo (Iloilo) rally thanks to Dr Ferjenel Biron, an ex- and returning congressman and the political leader and kingpin of the 4th District of Iloilo.

The clip was a 25-second excerpt from a two-and-a-half-minute-long video.

The sect also goes by another name, Ina Poon Bato Simbahang Naglalakbay.

None of the photos were edited.

An old election campaign video of Vice President and presidential aspirant Leni Robredo was altered with the use of unrelated images to present misleading information about her.

‘Atom Araullo is a Kakampink’ says one caption. ‘Atom Araullo for Leni’ says another.

Robredo’s spokesperson Barry Gutierrez cited a “conflict of schedule” as the reason for the vice president’s non-attendance.

Carlos did not allude to the vice president in her remark.

More than 65.74 million Filipinos are expected to cast their votes on May 9 in the country’s first-ever national elections during a pandemic.

The remark has been wrongly connected to the priest as early as December and recently revived on FB from Feb. 17 to Mar. 2.

Muhammad Ali, arguably, was the best boxer of all time. For my generation at least. Not only could he “float like a butterfly and sting like a bee”, he was, as he was always boasting, “pretty” - while opponents like Joe Frazier were “ugly”.

We continually ask that question in earnest, because even her detractors cannot answer it objectively.

One of the most pointed attacks being levied against the leading candidate for president is one word: Magnanakaw (Thief).

A heavy dose of conspiracy theory, denial of human rights violations during the Marcos dictatorship and casting of democracy icon President Corazon Aquino as villain were among the scores of martial law and Edsa-1 related disinformation debunked by Tsek.ph.

All of the seven mainstream media groups called out in the post reported on his participation.

This post is fake. Don't believe it.

This is not true. Robredo’s spokesperson said the allegation is a “complete fabrication.”

While there is, indeed, no specific law on rebellion, the criminal act has been defined and made punishable under the Revised Penal Code, as amended by Republic Act 6968 in 1990.
