Several posts on Facebook (FB) are claiming that Bohol Rep. Edgar Chatto mistakenly thought the signature sheet for the impeachment raps against Vice President Sara Duterte was for attendance to get snacks at the House of Representatives. This is satire. The claim originated from a parody page.
A reader asked VERA Files Fact Check to verify a post published by an FB page on Feb. 8. Written in Cebuano, part of the text in the post read:
“Come on, Cong. Chatto! Did you sign an impeachment complaint against VP Sara Duterte because you thought [it was] attendance just for snacks? Too bad, you never read the paper you signed? Maybe next time, you will sign a bill to raise taxes because you think it’s free aid?”
The original viral post was published the same day by Bohol Daily Balita, a Satire/Parody FB page.It was republished by other FB users without disclosing it as satire, misleading other netizens.
In its About section, Bohol Daily Balita describes its content as: “MGA BALITA NGA NAAY TRUE NAA PUY MURAG TRUE (News that are true and seem true).”
