VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Bato sinasalungat ang matagal nang paninindigan ni Duterte sa mga pulis na sangkot sa drug trade
Sa isang panayam sa The Chiefs, flagship current affairs program ng ONE News, sinabi ni Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa na ang pahayag kamakailan ni dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte tungkol sa mga pulis na sangkot sa illegal drug trade ay dahil sa pagkadismaya.
VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Bato contradicts Duterte’s long-established stance on cops involved in drug trade
In an interview on The Chiefs, Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa claimed that former president Rodrigo Duterte’s recent statement in dealing with cops involved in the illegal drug trade was said out of frustration.
‘How do you deal with these idiots?’
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: Duterte NOT back in Malacañang as anti-drug czar
A YouTube video’s headline and thumbnail erroneously claim that President Ferdinand Marcos ordered the appointment of his predecessor Rodrigo Duterte as his administration’s anti-drug czar. Not true.
VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Duterte received almost P400K monthly salary as president, not P197K as he now claims
This is the seventh time, at least by VERA Files Fact Check’s count, that Duterte understated his salary.
VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Halos P400K ang buwanang suweldo na tinanggap ni Duterte bilang presidente, hindi P197K gaya ng sinasabi niya ngayon
Mula 2019 hanggang sa natapos ang kanyang termino noong Hunyo 2022, ang buwanang suweldo ni Duterte ay mula P388,096 hanggang P399,739. Nang maupo siya sa pagkapangulo noong Hunyo 2016, ito ay nasa P160,924 hanggang P165,752 bawat buwan, ngunit tumaas ito ng halos dalawang beses noong 2017 (mula P215,804 hanggang P222,278) at 2018 (mula P289,401 hanggang P298,083).
FACT CHECK: From ‘possible’ to ‘plenty,’ Duterte stance on drug war abuses changes course
During the campaign for the 2016 presidential elections, Duterte promised to rid the Philippines of illegal drugs in six months. This promise had evolved throughout his term.
VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Mula sa ‘posible’ hanggang sa ‘marami,’ paninindigan ni Duterte sa drug war abuses nagbabago ng direksyon
Sumang-ayon si dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa kanyang kahalili na si Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na ang mga pang-aabuso sa karapatang pantao ay nangyari sa kanyang digmaan laban sa iligal na droga. Ang pag-amin ni Duterte ay isang pagbaligtad mula sa kanyang mga naunang pahayag na may “posibilidad” ng mga pang-aabuso sa karapatang pantao sa digmaan
VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Walang konteksto ang pahayag ng government communication bureau na proyekto ni Marcos Jr. ang EDSA Greenways
Nabuo ang konsepto ng EDSA Greenways Project noong 2017 sa ilalim ng administrasyong Duterte.
