Sinabi ni Senate President Vicente Sotto III na ang katigasan ng ulo ng mga Pilipino ang dapat sisihin sa mga kaso ng coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) sa bansa. Wala itong batayan.
Senate President Vicente Sotto III claimed that hardheaded Filipinos are to blame for the cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the country. This is without basis.
Sotto never uttered the fabricated quote.
Three days after it published a report concerning Sen. Risa Hontiveros, which VERA Files found to be fake, website ddsnewsfiles.xyz published on Nov. 25 another fabricated story: one claiming that a commander of rebel group New People's Army said Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III is one of their financiers.
A story published Sept. 11 by website The Daily Sentry (thedailysentry.net) claiming Senate President Vicente Sotto III is now "feeling the burden" of the expenses brought about by the continued stay of Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV at the Senate building is misleading.
It was obvious in Thursday’s Senate Blue Ribbon hearing on the 604 kilos of shabu that slipped through the watch of the Bureau of Customs under then Commissioner Nicanor Faeldon, that Committee Chair Sen. Richard Gordon does not want the truth to come out since the trail was leading to the direction of the Davao Group which allegedly involves not only presidential son and Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte but also presidential son-in-law lawyer Mans Carpio.
