    These studies were conducted, however, to demonstrate ivermectin’s safety and efficacy as an antiparasitic drug and not as a COVID-19 medicine.

    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.

    What is the opposite of red?

    By Antonio Montalvan II  |  Feb 03, 2021 12:42 PM

    I recall from my erstwhile years at the University of the Philippines schoolmates who had later joined the Philippine Military Academy, one of whom became chief of the Philippine Navy. My own high school class of Xavier University Ateneo de Cagayan, also red-tagged by neo-McCarthyist supremo Antonio Parlade, had produced only one leftist cadre in contrast to, among others, a secretary of agriculture, an undersecretary of tourism, a public health doctor, law and medical professors, a college dean, a congressman, and two municipal mayors. The leftist cadre was held in high esteem, standing tall among the sterling as the class salutatorian.
