00:00Today, the initial hearing of the BINUONG Tri-Committee of the Camera
00:04regarding the problem of fake news in the country, especially in social media.
00:09We have news for the country from Mela Lasmoras of PTV.
00:12Mela?
00:13The House Committee on Public Order and Safety Chair, Dan Fernandez, insisted that it's time
00:19for the spread of fake news in the country, especially in social media.
00:24That's why today, the initial discussion of the House Committee on Public Order
00:29and Safety, Committee on Public Information, and Committee on Information and Communications
00:34Technology, also known as the House Tri-Committee, was held here.
00:38The participants were briefed by various social media platforms and other stakeholders.
00:43According to Congressman Fernandez, even though they recognize the freedom of speech of everyone,
00:49people should be allowed to freely spread their own lies and false information.
00:55Their target is to punish the troll farms.
00:57This is also in line with the request of other congressmen who have already signed some resolutions.
01:02What do you think about this?
01:04Aside from the last hearing of the House Committee on Basic Education and Culture,
01:08the discussion today is hot on the issue of the Comprehensive Sexuality Education Program
01:13of the Department of Education.
01:15Some congressmen are teaching in schools of the CSE,
01:19but no law has yet been passed regarding this.
01:22As explained by DepEd, this is part of the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 202012 or RH law.
01:29And that is the latest, Princess.
01:32Thank you very much, Mela Lasmoras.
