    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Lorenzana mali sa pagsabi na ‘lahat’ ng mga barangay sa Metro Manila ay may mga presinto ng pulisya; pahayag na UP campus may ‘private army’ kailangan ng konteksto

    By VERA Files  |  Feb 09, 2021 1:05 PM

    Sa pagbibigay-katwiran sa unilateral abrogation ng 1989 UP-DND Accord at muling pagpasok ng mga patrolya ng pulis sa mga campus ng University of the Philippines (UP) para sugpuin ang sinasabing recruitment ng mga rebeldeng komunista, nagkamali si Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana ng pahayag na bawat barangay sa Metro Manila ay mayroong presinto ng pulisya.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Lorenzana falsely claims ‘all’ Metro Manila barangays have police precincts; UP campus ‘private army’ claim needs context

    By VERA Files  |  Feb 09, 2021 12:44 PM

    In justifying the unilateral abrogation of the 1989 UP-DND Accord and the re-entry of police patrol forces in the University of the Philippines (UP) campuses to quell the alleged recruitment by communist rebels, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana mistakenly claimed that every barangay in Metro Manila has a police precinct.
