00:19The third hearing of the House Tri-Committee tomorrow on the fight against fake news and disinformation online has already been held.
00:29According to the Tri-Committee's overall chair, Dan Fernandez, if the vloggers and social media personalities they face do not comply with the rules,
00:38even if the former PCO Secretary Trixie Cruz is their ally, they may face contempt and detention order.
00:45For Fernandez, disinformation can be seen as a national security issue, so they will not allow it to spread on social media.
00:55Some congressmen were also dismayed by the spread of fake news in the country, especially when former President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested,
01:04so it was expected to be counted as part of the discussion tomorrow.
01:09It's a disaster. Especially when Duterte was arrested, he showed so many rallies, but not here, not in the Philippines.
01:21Fake news has reached the point of distorting the appearance of victims of extrajudicial killings.
01:32This method is being used to spread malicious and untrue news.
01:50Despite its magnitude, there is a need to create new policies against fake news, especially on social media.
02:00Yes, that is what we are talking about now.
02:03The government also needs the so-called whole-of-nation approach.
02:07Even the Supreme Court is complaining and will take action on fake news.
