A YouTube video claims that the ICC has arraigned and ordered the imprisonment of Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano. Not true.
A YouTube video claims that the ICC has arraigned and ordered the imprisonment of Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano. Not true.
Cayetano said Duterte deserves an interim release and house arrest, citing an accused individual’s right to good health, dignity and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. But what about those killed, including young children who were once labeled as collateral damage by Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, in the course of the drug war?
A video on YouTube erroneously claimed that Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano has been expelled from the Senate on the orders of President Ferdinand Marcos and former President Rodrigo Duterte.
Several Facebook groups shared a fake post about a new P10,000 ayuda on GCash from Senator Alan Peter Cayetano.
Another erroneous online article claimed President-elect Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. wants returning senator Alan Peter Cayetano replaced, this time by Rep. Rodante Marcoleta. It is a false claim.
Several Facebook (FB) pages uploaded a satirical graphic claiming that Senator-elect Alan Peter Cayetano turned back on his promise to provide a P10,000 ayuda (cash assistance) as if it were true.
