    VERA FILES YEARENDER: ‘Walang biro’: Satire mas lalong ginamit para magkalat ng disinformation noong 2021

    By Ivel John M. Santos  |  Dec 27, 2021 10:54 AM

    Nakatanim na sa isipan ng maraming Pilipino ang katatawanan. Nakatutulong ito na pahupain ang tensyon kapag tumatalakay ng mga kontrobersyal na paksa gaya ng pulitika o mga isyung panlipunan. Ngunit nakikita ito ng iba bilang isang pagkakataon para tuyain nang husto ang isang tao o isang grupo tungkol sa isang bagay na kinasasangkutan nila; ang magalit ay hindi maganda dahil “talo ang pikon,” sabi nga nila.

    VERA FILES YEARENDER: ‘No joke’: Satire increasingly used to spread disinformation in 2021

    By Ivel John M. Santos  |  Dec 27, 2021 9:45 AM

    Humor is ingrained in the psyche of many Filipinos. It helps diffuse tension when discussing controversial topics such as politics or social issues. But others see it as an opportunity to sublimely ridicule a person or a group for a matter involving them; taking offense is unwise because “talo ang pikon (sore loser),” so they say.

    By Celine Isabelle Samson  |  Dec 22, 2021 10:00 AM

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK YEARENDER: Ang mga pinakamalaking flip-flop ni Duterte sa taong 2021

    By Meeko Angela Camba  |  Dec 20, 2021 10:30 AM

    Sa isang talumpati noong Agosto, sinabi mismo ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na ang mga pampublikong opisyal ay “inuutusan [sa pamamagitan ng kanilang sinumpaang katungkulan] na magsabi ng totoo … kahit na wasakin sila ng katotohanan.” Ngunit ano ang mangyayari kapag nagsabi ang pangulo ng isang bagay ngayon at pagkatapos ay iniba ang sinabi, at pagkatapos ay iniba pa ulit sa sumunod na pagkakataon?

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK YEARENDER: Duterte’s biggest flip-flops in 2021

    By Meeko Angela Camba  |  Dec 20, 2021 8:00 AM

    President Rodrigo Duterte himself said in a speech in August that public officials are “mandated [by their oath of office] to tell the truth … even if the truth leaves [them] in ruins.” But what happens when the president says one thing today and then another, and then another the next time?
