    VERA FILES FACT SHEET: Pagkampanya sa panahon ng COVID-19 pandemic

    By VERA Files  |  Feb 03, 2022 5:53 PM

    Ang pangangampanya para sa darating na halalan sa Mayo 9 ay walang katulad sa kasaysayan ng bansa dahil sa coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Iboboto ng mga Pilipino ang bagong hanay ng mga pambansa at lokal na pinuno sa gitna ng isang rumaragasang pandemic na kumitil ng higit sa 50,000 buhay, halos pumilay sa ekonomiya, at humamon sa kakayahan ng mga kasalukuyang opisyal sa pagtugon sa krisis sa kalusugan ng publiko.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: PAO chief Acosta mali sa pagsabing ‘walang immunity’ laban sa COVID-19 ang mga nabakunahang indibidwal

    By VERA Files  |  Feb 03, 2022 1:13 PM

    Sa pagtatanggol sa mga karapatan ng mga indibiduwal na ayaw magpabakuna laban sa coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), si Public Attorneys Office (PAO) Chief Persida Acosta ay nagbigay ng maling pahayag na ang mga nabakunahan ay “walang immunity” laban sa virus at, samakatuwid, ay hindi naiiba sa mga hindi nabakunahan.
