Hindi bastang makalalaya si Rodrigo Duterte maliban kung aprubahan ng ICC ang kanyang pansamantalang paglaya. Walang kapangyarihan ang isang senador na iuwi siya mula sa pagkakakulong.

Mali ang sinabi ni Kitty Duterte na sa ilalim ng pamamahala ng kanyang ama, nakaaalis at nakauuwi nang ligtas ang mga bata.

Camarines Sur gubernatorial candidate Ronald Alarkon Rodriguez cautions his constituents against believing in “fake news,” saying he is disqualified from the May 12 race. This needs context.

Kitty Duterte falsely claimed in a campaign rally that young people could go out and come home “safely” during her father’s presidency.

As the former president is in the middle of a legal process, particularly the pre-trial stage, of the ICC, he cannot walk free unless the court approves his temporary release. A senator has no power to bring him back from detention in The Hague.

Maling iginiit ng Meta AI na ang Pilipinas ay may soberanya sa West Philippine Sea. Ang Pilipinas ay may mga sovereign rights, hindi soberanya, sa WPS. Ang dalawang konsepto ay hindi mapagpapalit.

Meta AI incorrectly described the labeling of the West Philippine Sea on Google Maps an "assertion of the country's sovereignty." The Philippines has sovereign rights, not sovereignty, over features in the WPS.

Nitong Marso, sinabi ni Sen. Imee Marcos na may P150 billion flood control budget ang Bicol. Hindi ito tumpak. Magkano ba talaga ang budget para sa flood control projects sa rehiyon? Alamin sa aming video fact check!

Blogger Mark Lopez falsely claimed during a House tri-committee hearing that the Philippines “also uses” water cannons in defending its sovereign rights in the West Philippine Sea.

Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder Pastor Apollo Quiboloy remains on the most wanted list of the FBI. There has been no official announcement to the contrary from the U.S. federal authorities on the charges against him.

Quiboloy’s attribution is inaccurate. R.A. No. 11310 is the law institutionalizing the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), while R.A. No. 11916 is the Senior Citizens’ Pension Act.

Tulfo's statements are misleading. A political dynasty exists not only when multiple family members have dominant control over a certain locality.

The numbers Marcoleta cited are incorrect and outdated. They do not correspond to land features in the South China Sea claimed by each country, but the number of outposts put up in the Spratly Islands, which is only a portion of the disputed waters.

Hindi totoo ang sinasabi ni Abines na ang mga bahagi ng 2025 budget ay iniwang blangko. Ang mga pahinang ipinakita niya ay wala sa GAA kundi sa bicameral committee report.

Abines falsely claims parts of 2025 budget were left blank. The pages he showed were not in the GAA but in the bicameral committee report.

ACT-CIS Party-list Rep. Erwin Tulfo claimed he “did not scam… did not deceive” anyone but admitted he was an undocumented alien who illegally worked in the United States for 10 years, having entered the country as a tourist.
