If there's one thing that critics of the administration can do to make sure that their discontent leads to the opposition or independent candidates winning in the 2022 elections, it would be to encourage people who are not happy with the government's handling of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic to participate in the upcoming electoral exercise.

Isa sa pinakahihintay ng lahat ng Pilipino ang araw ng eleksyon. Mayaman o mahirap, nakapag-aral o hindi, basta nasa hustong gulang, puwede bumoto. Pantay pantay ang lahat — tig-isang boto ang bawat isa.

President Rodrigo Duterte has not removed him.

With the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) unlikely to go away soon, the main battleground for next year’s elections will certainly be on social media. Some early birds have, in fact, started advertising on Facebook, the most popular social network in the world, primarily for name recall.

A two-month-old vlog by former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. that bears false and misleading claims about the Philippines’ electoral system continues to circulate on social media.

This quote is fake.

As the 2022 national and local elections draw near, retired Supreme Court associate justice Antonio Carpio on Thursday described candidates that Filipino voters must reject for the country’s recovery and survival. ​

This statement is manufactured.

Amidst the disaster of unabated rise of COVID-19 cases (breaching the 5, 000 mark last Saturday, the highest daily increase since Aug. 26, 2020), the Filipino people are being set up for another tragedy: an attempt to bastardize the Constitution for President Duterte to continue being in power after his term ends on June 30, 2022.

Duterte, while openly critical of Robredo, has said no such thing in his speeches.

The so-called survey was an informal Twitter poll.

A reverse image search, however, revealed that the original copy of the photo showing a convoy was taken over three years ago. There was no tarpaulin attached to the vehicle's bumper.

The Davao City mayor made no reference to Moreno in her monologue.

This is a spurious spin on a statement made by the Comelec official in a Feb. 24 interview with ANC.

A look into the company’s history shows it has taken on printing jobs for local and national government agencies, including the Philippine National Police.

Incumbent legislators would do the country a great service if they seriously take a closer look at a provision in Republic Act (RA) 9369 that rendered premature campaigning a thing of the past.

The radio and TV personality has made no announcement he would vie for public office. Neither has the presidential daughter said she was running in the upcoming polls.

The graphic and Lacson's endorsement was made to look recent and timed for the 2022 national polls.

The title of this column is borrowed from Jose Rizal’s masterpiece, Noli Me Tangere, which historian Ambeth Ocampo best explained in his 2016 opinion piece to mean “one is pretending not to appear interested in something, though in reality one is desperate to have it.”

The Davao city mayor has made no such announcement.

A cursory Google search revealed Duterte made no such order this month.

The Pasig City mayor said no such thing. It’s an altered quote card.

It's a composite of four clips showing other protests and events. Neither was held at the Comelec’s office; not one called for the progressive bloc’s expulsion.
