The looming issuance of arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for former president Rodrigo Duterte and his accomplices in his deadly war on drugs is expected to impact tremendously in the 2025 midterm and the 2028 presidential elections.
Mahigit 11 buwan na lang midterm elections na, pero nasaan na ang oposisyon? Sino ba ang maituturing na oposisyon? At paano sila matatawag na oposisyon? Makisali sa kwentuhan nina Tress at former senator Antonio “Sonny” Trillanes IV.
Two Facebook pages erroneously claimed former senators Antonio Trillanes and Leila De Lima have been meted prison sentences.
Sa pitong bahaging seryeng ito, ang VERA Files Fact Check ay naghanap ng mahalagang impormasyon tungkol sa mga piling kandidato sa pagkasenador upang matulungan ang mga botante sa pagpili ng iboboto. Kasama sa part 2 ng serye ang dalawang dating senador – sina Antonio Trillanes IV at Antique Rep. Loren Legarda – at tatlong incumbents – sina Joel Villanueva, Migz Zubiri at Risa Hontiveros – na nagsisikap na mabawi o mapanatili ang mga puwesto sa kamara.

For those who took the path of the International Criminal Court, the judicial authorisation request of the Office of the Prosecutor to proceed with an investigation is a “monumental step towards justice,” and a “ray of hope” for the families of victims of extrajudicial killings in the war on drugs.
This is false. Nowhere in the video did Duterte mention Trillanes, nor did he mention the P245-million cash transaction between him and PNoy.
No part of the video, nor any news reports, support the erroneous claim.
The posts was falsely labeled “breaking news."
Duterte has made no comment on a Court of Appeals decision favoring the former soldier turned lawmaker.
