Sept 28, 2026 · The defense cross-examined a procurement official on GenCorp's contracts; a police officer then said the VP has 22 registered guns and her husband 29.
83% of chat messages that took a side were against the VP
The GMA, ANC, UNTV and Rappler live chats had 11,526 messages. Setting copy-pastes aside, 6,524 were different, and 1,636 of those clearly took a side. This is not a survey: it shows only what people chose to type in the chat, not what all Filipinos think. How it's measured
