TRUTH IN THE TIME OF NOISE

Manila Bulletin

|

October 10, 2025

Every minute Filipinos scroll, swipe and click through endless streams of information, they face the challenge of telling fact from fiction.

That is why the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has placed truth and transparency at the heart of governance.

The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) sees to it that the public is properly, accurately and timely informed.

DEVELOPING DIGITAL DEFENDERS

Through its Media and Information Literacy (MIL) campaign, the PCO is preparing Filipinos to recognize and resist disinformation. To date:

  • 1,600 students have been trained in fact-checking at campus caravans

  • 75 fact-check officers mobilized nationwide

  • 134 teachers capacitated with MIL teaching modules

The best weapon against disinformation is a citizenry that can tell fact from fiction.
