1. Atty.

Larry Gadon

“Kaya yan, kasinungalingan yang Pulse Asia at SWS Survey na yan, mga
bayaran, mga propagandist at mga cheaters”

Justification: This statement is a logical fallacy, specifically a type of Fallacy of

Diversion which is “Poisoning the well” . This is a direct attack of trustworthiness of
the person making the statement and instead of addressing the problem. Generally,
this is a fallacy because Atty. Gadon is directly attacking the Survey institutions and
he creates a misleading information that has no supporting evidence that can prove
his claim,

2. Atty. Larry Gadon

"Dun sa nag-oopose, ito lang ang advice ko sa kanila, put up an army and evade
China if you want, wag niyong idamay ang mga Pilipino dito. kung gusto niyo
magpakamatay, sige kayo mag giyera doon."

Justification: This statement is a logical fallacy. Specifically, Ad Baculum.

Because the statement is using fear and intimidation to force an opponent to concede an
argument, This was manifested on the line of Gadon whicxh is to “wag niyong idamay
ang mga Pilipino dito. kung gusto niyo magpakamatay, sige kayo mag giyera doon."

3. Jinggoy Estrada

“Weather weather lang yan, kita mo ang nagpakulong saamin ni Bong Revilla, ayun
init na init na dun sa kulungan”

Justification: This statement is also ad hominem, Estrada is personally attacking De

lima who previously lead the imprisonment of Estrada and Revilla. The statement is
fallacious because the answer of Estrada was not direct and he ratified de lima
instead
4. Atty.Chel Diokno

“Hindi po ba kayo nadala sa nangyari saatin noong Martial Law. Nakalimutan

naba natin ang ating kasaysayan na mayroon tayong pangulong nilukluk ang sarili
bilang diktador para nga maiwasan ang term limits, at ginawa niyang kasangkapan
yan para lang magkamal, pamilya niyang nagkamal ng kay laki laking pera.”

Justification: A form of Ad Hominem also, Diokno is attacking personally Imee marcos

during the debate hosted by GMA. This statement becomes fallacious because
instead of answering the question directly. Diokno ratified the lady Marcos with his
father’s past.

5. Sara Duterte

“Leni Robredo should avoid commenting about honesty and integrity. Her honesty has
been questioned since day one of her term as vice president,

Justification: This fallacious statement is under “Ad Ignominiam”, This becomes Ad

Ignominiam because her statement can be described as “shameful” and also the
statement in a way becomes a diversion from objective truth,facts,and evidence. In
addition, instead of saying that statement, she could something which is more proper
and with factual evidences.
