Ang bagong Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo, sa kanyang unang press briefing noong Oktubre 12, ay gumawa ng dalawang maling pahayag tungkol sa International Criminal Court.
Newly-appointed Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo, in his first press briefing on Oct. 12, made two wrong claims about the International Criminal Court (ICC)—bringing to four the total number of blunders he has made about the tribunal so far.
Halos kalahati ng kabuuang kontribusyon sa ICC ay mula sa limang bansa lamang - Japan, Germany, France, United Kingdom at Brazil - habang 89 porsyento ng kabuuang kontribusyon ang nagmula sa 20 bansa lamang.
Half of the total ICC contributions came from only five countries.
Ang halagang binubuo ng 0.28 porsiyento - hindi 28 porsiyento tulad ng sinabi ni Panelo.
It's 0.28 percent, not 28 percent.
Sa isang panayam sa radyo noong Marso 20, maling ipinahayag ni Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo na ang US ay "umatras" mula sa Roma Statute, ang kasunduan na lumikha ng International Criminal Court.
The U.S. signed the Rome Statute but did not ratify it.
