The Marcos Jr. administration's anti-drug campaign is "bloodless."

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

Related reporting directly addresses whether the Marcos Jr. administration’s anti-drug campaign is bloodless. In a March 2026 account, Philippine News reported that Marcos had said the campaign would be “bloodless” and “peaceful,” and quoted Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla saying, “We managed to wage this campaign against drugs without killing anyone.” Those are official characterizations of the campaign, not independent confirmation that nobody has been killed in connection with it. Other supplied reporting presents contrary evidence. A March 24, 2026 report cited a University of the Philippines Third World Studies Center study that recorded at least 1,194 people reportedly killed in connection with drugs between July 1, 2022, and March 15, 2026. A later Human Rights Watch account reported 1,273 killings in the anti-drug campaign since Marcos became president in June 2022, attributing that figure to independent monitoring by the Dahas Project. These are different counts, with different stated sources and coverage periods; the excerpts do not explain how their definitions or methods compare. The evidence therefore contradicts an unqualified claim that the campaign is bloodless: official assurances appear alongside reporting that documents deaths connected with it. The excerpts do not establish that every reported death resulted from an operation directly conducted by the administration, and they do not provide the underlying study or monitoring records for independent examination. This assessment summarizes related reporting, not the original Vera Files review.

Folha de S.PauloCrime & justice

Publicação nas redes sociais relaciona ação da Polícia Federal (PF), que apreendeu R$ 3,2 milhões dentro de sacos de lixo, e o governo Lula (PT). O vídeo mostra imagens de agentes da corporação com bolos de dinheiro enquanto fazem buscas em um imóvel. “O governo do amor venceu. Não tem dinheiro para fazer nada pelo pobre, mas tem dinheiro para pagar propina”, alega o homem. O post também traz o trecho de uma reportagem sobre a operação exibida no Jornal Hoje, da TV Globo.

Publisher’s rating: Enganoso

The post connects images of Federal Police agents handling R$ 3.2 million found in garbage bags to the Lula government, with a man in the video alleging that the money was for bribes. The review says the seizure did occur, but that the viral video used the footage to suggest a connection to the federal government that the investigation did not establish. The underlying operation took place in August and concerned an alleged corruption scheme involving the State University of Roraima and the hiring of an engineering company. The review identifies the reporting excerpt shown in the post as containing context about that investigation. It also says that news reports about the seizure and a statement from the Federal Police made no mention of the federal government. Thus, the existence of the seizure does not substantiate the post’s political attribution: the information described in the review points to a state-university contracting investigation, not to the Lula government. The review says the investigation was conducted by Metrópoles and O Povo and published by Comprova, and that Folha and other outlets verified it. The supplied text does not detail the underlying reporting’s specific verification steps, so it does not support further claims about how those checks were conducted.
