Detailed Analysis:
  • Claim:** "The mid-term results will shape the bitter feud between President Bongbong Marcos and his Vice-President Sara Duterte."
    • Verification Source #2: Mentions the Duterte family and Marcos family, suggesting a potential rivalry, but focuses on the ICC arrest of Rodrigo Duterte in 2025, which is beyond the scope of the mid-term results mentioned in the article.
    • Verification Source #1, #3, #4, and #5: Fail to cover the claim.
    • Internal Knowledge:* While the provided sources don't directly confirm the feud, it is a widely reported narrative in Philippine politics. However, without specific evidence from the provided sources, the accuracy remains mixed. The phrase "bitter feud" also introduces a degree of bias.
Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

  • Verification Source #1, #3, #4, and #5: Do not provide any supporting or contradictory evidence.
  • Internal Knowledge:* The claim aligns with general knowledge of Philippine politics, but this cannot be used as primary verification.
