Two YouTube videos wrongly claimed that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and the Senate have approved the reinstatement of the death penalty. This is a clickbait. The video merely discussed viewpoints in favor of the death penalty bills pending in the Senate. First uploaded on July 30, the 11-minute video bore the erroneous headline: “JUST IN […]

VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Pagpayag ni Dela Rosa na bitayin dahil sa mga pagpatay na may kinalaman sa droga walang basehan

Bilang tugon sa mga natuklasan kamakailan ni forensic pathology expert Dr. Raquel Fortun na nakadiskubre ng mga hindi pagkakatugma sa mga ulat sa autopsy ng mga biktima ng drug war, sinabi ni Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa na handa siyang bitayin kung mahatulan siya ng lokal na hukuman para sa anumang maling gawain. Wala itong basehan.

VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Dela Rosa’s willingness to be hanged over drug-related killings has no basis

By VERA Files | Feb 08, 2023 10:05 AM

A Philippine court cannot sentence him to hanging because the country already outlawed the death penalty on June 24, 2006 when then-president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed Republic Act 9346. This outlawed capital punishment in the country, which was previously allowed and carried out through lethal injection.

VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Ang nagbabagong paninindigan ni Bato Dela Rosa sa ‘parusa’ sa mga gumagamit ng droga

By VERA Files | Dec 05, 2022 11:20 AM

Sa loob ng apat na taon, nagbago ang pananaw ni Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa tungkol sa pagtrato sa mga illegal drug offender. Bilang director-general ng Bureau of Corrections (BuCor), sinuportahan niya ang parusang kamatayan para sa lahat ng mga nagkasala kaugnay ng ilegal na droga hanggang kanyang iminungkahi ang rehabilitasyon para sa mga gumagamit. Ngayon, sinabi ng dating Philippine National Police (PNP) chief na “nagdadalawang isip” siya tungkol sa sarili niyang panukala.
