An image showing a portion of the bank deposits made into the alleged BPI Julia Vargas account of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has been circulating online. It highlighted that five of those deposits were made on November 20, 2011, which fell on a Sunday.

The image came with a title, “PWEDE BANG MAG DEPOSIT SA SUNDAY NG P190 MILLION?” with the rest of the caption mocking Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, who made those documents public after he alleged Duterte for having P211 million transactions in his BPI Julia Vargas account.
The same document was used by former North Cotabato Gov. Manny Piñol to take a swipe at the Philippine Daily Inquirer for failing to verify documents before publishing them. In his Facebook post entitled “RESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM AND THE TRILLANES’ EXPOSE,” he wrote that even the netizens were able to spot the wrong dates themselves.
“Surely, there should have been due diligence in checking out the facts and it is now clearly pointed out by simple netizens that even the dates of the deposits of millions of pesos in Duterte’s accounts in 2011 fell on a Sunday, non-banking day. A netizen doing a better research work than a newspaper which is manned by grizzled veterans in newspapering?”
However, the Trillanes’ documents that were uploaded by Inquirer are telling a different story and showing different figures. Click the button below to know the truth.
