CLAIM: PDP-Laban is endorsing 12 senatorial candidates including those from the opposition.
RATING: FALSE
A Facebook user posted a fake list of candidates that PDP-Laban supposedly endorsed in the May 12 elections.
The post only showed the assigned number of the candidates in the ballot, with no corresponding names.
The fake list also featured images of ex-president Rodrigo Duterte, Vice President Sara Duterte, Sen. Robin Padilla and the PDP-Laban logo to falsely imply that the list was real.
The candidates who are known critics of or belong to political parties critical of the Duterte party, namely, Bam Aquino, Ronnel Arambulo, Arlene Brosas, Teddy Casiño, France Castro, Leody De Guzman, Luke Espiritu, Sonny Matula, Liza Maza, Heidi Mendoza, Kiko Pangilinan, Danilo Ramos were included in the fake list.
Contrary to the claim, on April 12, PDP-Laban endorsed only 10 senatorial aspirants, and the party called them the “DuterTEN.”
