May kumalat na screenshot kung saan pinalabas na panahon pa raw ni dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang isang litrato ng Commonwealth Avenue sa unang araw ng pagbabalik ng No Contact Apprehension Policy noong May 26.
Taong 2002 pa naman may NCAP. May mga naging trial run mula 2009 hanggang 2010, pero inilunsad lang ito ulit sa Metro Manila bago maupong pangulo si Duterte.
FactRakers is a Philippines-based fact-checking initiative of journalism majors at the University of the Philippines-Diliman working under the supervision of Associate Professor Yvonne T. Chua of the University of the Philippines’ Journalism Department. Associate Professor Ma. Diosa Labiste, also of the Journalism Department, serves as editorial consultant.
FactRakers' fact-checks also include those produced by Tinig ng Plaridel — the official student publication of the UP College of Media and Communication — and the UP Journalism Club.
The name of the initiative, coined from the words “fact” and “raker,” is inspired by the term “muckrakers,” first used in the early 1900s by American president Theodore Roosevelt to express his annoyance at progressive, reform-minded journalists at the time.
