A video claims that senatorial candidate Kiko Pangilinan recently argued with police officials supposedly over a traffic incident. This is false.
An opinion radio host accused former Sen. Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan of stealing credit from the current administration for providing free public Wi-Fi in public spaces. The lawmaker is the principal author of the law that made this possible.
A graphic showing former senator Kiko Pangilinan and Sen. Risa Hontiveros as a tandem for the 2028 elections is making the rounds online.

The original showed rows of stacked graves and did not feature the two political figures or their campaign posters.
