Category: Misleading
Complete Details: A picture posted by We are One Pilipinas on the Facebook page of CDO for BBM and SARA 2022 mentions issues and controversies which can be inferred that happened from the administrations of former Presidents Corazon Aquino and son Benigno III and the post wants to make it appear that voting for a certain Presidential candidate in the 2022 elections will bring them all back.
Why we fact-check this: The post makes it appear that there is a direct connection to all the issues/ controversies from those two previous administrations to a Presidential candidate who is supposedly in the same political party, misleading the readers to think there is a valid connection.
