    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Habang nakabitin ang pagpapatibay ng anti-terror bill, Locsin inulit ang maling pahayag na drug ops laban sa lider ng terorista ang sanhi ng pagkubkob sa Marawi

    By VERA Files  |  Jun 11, 2020 9:57 PM

    Sa hindi bababa sa pangatlong pagkakataon, muling sinabi ni Foreign Affairs Teodoro “Teddy Boy” Locsin, Jr. ang maling impormasyon na ang paghahatid ng warrant of arrest dahil sa iligal na droga ang ugat ng Marawi siege.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Pending enactment of anti-terror bill, Locsin repeats false claim that drug ops vs. terrorist leader caused Marawi siege

    By VERA FILES  |  Jun 11, 2020 7:20 PM

    For at least the third time, Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro “Teddy Boy” Locsin Jr. falsely claimed that the serving of a warrant of arrest for illegal drugs triggered the Marawi siege.

    Factors and forces that led to the Marawi debacle

    By Criselda Yabes  |  Oct 20, 2019 12:35 PM

    The battle of Marawi in 2017, in the heart of the Islamic city in Lanao del Sur province, deviated into violent extremism that opened more fears for the future in what was an undertaking by mostly a generation of millennial fighters. The siege that lasted five months, from May to October, was unprecedented in magnitude, challenging the military in doctrine and tactics, and prompting daily sorties of air strikes that reduced Marawi to a state of destruction. It was unbelievable that two principal brothers of a family attached to the political and business elite of the Maranaos – the Muslim ethnic tribe of Lanao del Sur – had raised the stakes of Islamism beyond the call for autonomy in a fractured land.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Duterte, Locsin inulit ang pahayag na ang pagkubkob sa Marawi ay dahil sa operasyon laban sa droga

    By VERA Files  |  Oct 07, 2019 9:00 PM

    Hindi mga iligal na droga ang opisyal na dahilan ng giyera na nagwasak sa Marawi City noong 2017, ngunit ito ang sinabi nina Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte at Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro “Teddyboy” Locsin, Jr. sa labas ng bansa sa magkahiwalay na pahayag, ilang araw lamang ang pagitan.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Duterte, Locsin repeat claim Marawi siege caused by anti-drug ops

    By VERA Files  |  Oct 07, 2019 7:02 PM

    Illegal drugs was not the official cause of the war that devastated Marawi City in 2017, but President Rodrigo Duterte and Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro “Teddyboy” Locsin, Jr. claimed this on the international stage, within days of each other.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Duterte binago ang istorya ng Marawi, sinasalungat ang pagbibigay-katarungan sa martial law

    By VERA FILES  |  Nov 21, 2018 10:42 PM

    Sinabi ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa unang bahagi ng buwan na ito na ang krisis sa Marawi ay “hindi isang hayag na paghihimagsik,” na kabaligtaran ng kanyang opisyal na pagbibigay-katwiran sa pagdeklara ng martial law sa Mindanao noong nakaraang taon.
