Archive - Claims by Public Figures

This makes Marcos one of the many public figures who have made misleading claims in asserting the Philippines’ “non-cooperation” to the ICC’s probe of the Duterte administration’s drug war.

Former president Rodrigo Duterte has claimed that the NTF-ELCAC was a “very successful” initiative of the AFP in reducing the number of communist insurgents. This needs context.

Reacting to recent discussions in the House of Representatives about cooperating with the ICC in its investigation of the previous administration’s war on drugs, Vice President Sara Duterte echoed claims on the ICC jurisdiction that lack context.

From saying in August 2022 that the Philippines “has no intention” of rejoining the ICC, Marcos now says the Philippines’ return to the Netherlands-based tribunal is “under study.”

The Marcos family did not go into exile empty-handed. In 1986, the U.S. Customs Services seized sets of jewelry, valued in 1991 at $436,420 to $559,630, that the Marcoses brought with them to Honolulu.

Bagama’t walang opisyal na testimonya si Rodrigo Duterte sa korte, nagbitiw siya ng mga pahayag na inaakusahan si Leila De Lima na sangkot sa illegal drug trading noong kalihim siya ng Department of Justice.

Naunang ipinahayag ni Sara Duterte na "kalaban ng bayan" ang sinumang kumokontra sa confidential funds.

Toward the end of his six-year presidency, Rodrigo Duterte said “nobody can stop corruption.” No longer in power, he now says “it is easy” to control this menace.

Humarap sa media si AFP Chief of Staff Romeo Brawner Jr. para linawin ang nauna niyang pahayag na may destabilization efforts laban sa administrasyong Marcos. Nangangailangan ito ng konteksto.

Duterte asked the senators that the amount for confidential funds be reallocated instead to the DepEd’s National Learning Recovery Program.
