CLAIM: Knights of Columbus in the Philippines has endorsed the Leni-Kiko tandem
RATING: FALSE

A social media post claims the Knights of Columbus (KofC) in the Philippines has endorsed the candidacies of Vice President Leni Robredo and Senator Kiko Pangilinan for president and vice president of the Philippines, respectively.

This is FALSE.

On its official website, the KofC reminded Knights to “talk about the issues, not the candidates” and “separate your candidacy from your being a knight” as part of its regulations on politics and social media.

The KofC of the Philippines debunked the post, saying the alleged endorsement was “not true”.
