“Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez on Wednesday said the disqualification case filed against Presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. has no clear basis.”

The press release twisted the statement of Jimenez from an interview that occurred on the morning of Nov. 2 — not Nov. 3 as claimed — hours before the petition to cancel or deny Marcos Jr.’s COC was filed, and which referred to another issue.
Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.

Camp of presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. made this claim around 3 November 2021. Vera Files (Philippines) looked into it and published its finding on 5 November 2021, 2 days later. Its rating was “False and Misleading”.
