    Pusong bato sa usapin ng drug war

    By Christian Esguerra  |  Nov 26, 2022 1:46 PM

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Bong Go naglalagare sa usapin kung paano tratuhin ang mga adik sa droga

    By VERA Files  |  Oct 11, 2020 4:57 PM

    Binago muli ni Sen. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go ang kanyang pananaw sa kung paano dapat harapin ang mga taong nalululong sa droga, na sinabi sa isang pagdinig sa Senado noong Set. 29 na dapat silang tratuhin bilang “mga biktima na nangangailangan ng tulong.”

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: 20,000, hindi 200,000: Cayetano pinalaki ang bilang ng gumagamit ng droga

    By VERA Files  |  Nov 19, 2019 10:46 PM

    Pinalaki ng sampung beses ni House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano ang bilang ng mga gumagamit ng iligal na droga na binanggit sa 2001 Letter of Instruction (LOI), at inulit ang walang basehang pahayag ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte tungkol sa kasalukuyang bilang ng mga adik sa droga.

    By VERA Files  |  Nov 19, 2019 6:12 PM

    House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano bloated the number of illegal drug users cited in a 2001 Letter of Instruction (LOI) ten times, repeating President Rodrigo Duterte’s baseless claim on current number of drug addicts.
