    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Sa pagtatanggol sa desisyon ni Duterte na ibasura ang VFA, dating Palace spox Harry Roque gumawa ng dalawang maling pahayag

    By VERA Files  |  Feb 07, 2020 11:46 PM

    Mali si dating Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque nang sinabi niyang walang pakinabang ang bansa sa Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) sa United States, at ang mga sundalong Pilipino, “batay” sa Guinness World Records, ang nakikipaglaban sa “pinakamatagal na paghihimagsik” sa buong mundo.

    By VERA Files  |  Jan 29, 2020 4:22 PM

    Ang sinabi ni Sen. Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III na maaaring kanselahin ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) “mayroon man o walang” dahilan ay kailangang isaalang-alang ang kaso na nakabinbin sa Supreme Court (SC).

    ​May President Duterte unilaterally abrogate the Visiting Forces Agreement without the consent of the Senate?
    The question arose yesterday after Mr. Duterte angrily warned he will do precisely that if the Americans do not “correct” the cancellation of the US visa earlier issued to a close ally, Senator Ronald “Bato” de la Rosa.
