    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: ‘Kurap vs Di Kurap’ video showing road projects and statues as legacies MISLEADING

    By VERA Files  |  Mar 24, 2022 7:57 PM

    Many of the bronze busts, statues and monuments were not built during the terms of both Aquinos. Some of the statues were also privately funded or donated by artists.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Post on ‘revised history books’ against Marcoses carries FALSE claims

    By VERA Files  |  Sep 30, 2021 3:35 PM

    Historians tell otherwise, as the Marcoses have a history of commissioning books with their own version of their story about former dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. and his 21-year-old martial law rule.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Contrary to MISLEADING FB posts, Cory Aquino’s presidency was constitutional

    By VERA Files  |  Mar 28, 2021 12:32 PM

    This is misleading. In May 1986, or three months after Marcos’ 20-year rule was put to an end by the Feb. 22-25 People Power Revolution, the Supreme Court (SC) dismissed three petitions that challenged the legitimacy of Aquino’s presidency.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Claim on Cory Aquino scrapping Marcos-era floodway NEEDS CONTEXT

    By VERA Files  |  Dec 09, 2020 7:45 PM

    As typhoons submerged parts of Luzon in floodwater in November, an infographic circulated on Facebook (FB) pointing out that the late President Corazon “Cory” Aquino had mothballed a flood control project of her predecessor Ferdinand Marcos. This lacks context.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Hirit ni Gadon na dahilan ni Cory Aquino sa pagpigil sa operasyon ng BNPP HINDI TOTOO

    By VERA Files  |  Oct 19, 2020 1:55 PM

    Sinabi ng abogadong si Lorenzo “Larry” Gadon na pinigilan ni dating Pangulong Corazon Aquino ang pagpapatakbo ng Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) dahil “ayaw niyang maalala ng mga Pilipino ang pamilya Marcos.” Hindi ito totoo.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Gadon’s claim on reason of Cory Aquino for stopping BNPP operation FALSE

    By VERA Files  |  Oct 19, 2020 12:11 PM

    Lawyer Lorenzo “Larry” Gadon claimed former president Corazon Aquino stopped the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) from operating because she “didn’t want Filipinos to remember the Marcos family.” This is not true.
