VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Tinanggap ba ni Marcos ang pagbibitiw ng 18 PNP officers na sabit umano sa droga sa kanilang mga puwesto o natanggal sila sa serbisyo?

By VERA Files | Aug 14, 2023 2:33 PM

Halos tatlong linggo matapos ipahayag ang pagtanggap sa pagbibitiw ng 18 matataas na opisyal, hindi pa naglalabas ng tahasang pahayag ang PNP na naglilinaw kung tinanggal lang sila sa kanilang mga posisyon o sinibak sa serbisyo ng pulisya. Nananatiling hindi malinaw kung kailan magkakabisa ang mga pagbibitiw.

Almost three weeks after the acceptance of the resignations of the 18 high-ranking officers was announced, the PNP has yet to issue a categorical statement clarifying whether they were merely removed from their positions or dismissed from the police service.

Is acceptance of PNP resignations all for show?

By Tita C. Valderama | Jul 31, 2023 12:22 PM

Controlling corruption in the PNP may indeed be a herculean task, and starting it with the illegal drug trade is a good move in the right direction. Is Marcos really up to it?

VERA FILES FACT SHEET: Top concerns of military, other uniformed personnel on the Marcos admin’s pension reform proposal

By VERA Files | Jul 12, 2023 2:11 PM

The Philippine Military Academy Class of 1971 told the economic team to first complete a full actuarial study, saying the P9.6 trillion estimate by the GSIS in 2019 to fully fund the pension system is “misleading.” It said the analysis failed to include data on the overall assets of the AFP and other uniformed services.

‘How do you deal with these idiots?’

By Tita C. Valderama | Jun 19, 2023 11:30 AM

Send them to jail, where the big-time drug lords continue to operate? Dismiss them from the service, so they can work full time with the syndicates? Or, as Duterte has suggested, “ihulog mo?”

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.
