Their rating
Rodrigo Duterte

“Former president Rodrigo Duterte says the United States has "so many bases" in the Philippines, which was made possible with the "consent" of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.”

Vera Files rated this: False

Vera Files says: The U.S. no longer has permanent military bases in the Philippines. The 1987 Constitution prohibited the continued stay of the bases after the 1991 expiration of the Military Bases Agreement between the two countries.

Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

“President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. claims he has "not touched" the Arelma and other ill-gotten cases filed against his family since they were living in exile in Hawaii.”

Vera Files rated this: False

Vera Files says: Rulings of the SC in 2012 and 2014 show that Marcos was involved in the litigation of cases related to Arelma, Inc. long after the family returned to the Philippines from exile in Hawaii in 1991.

PolitiFact rated this: Half True

PolitiFact says: Inflation compounds and it has risen by about 19% over the last three years. However, Rubio leaves out that wages have increased faster than prices since the pandemic, and also over the past year.

FactCheck.org rated this: Misleading

FactCheck.org says: Biden supports extending the tax cuts championed by Trump for people making less than $400,000. Only the top 20% of earners saw average tax savings in the "thousands" ($5,790 on average) under that tax law in 2018.

Social media posts
