00:00The third hearing of the House Tri-Committee is scheduled for tomorrow and it is expected that there will be a lot of fake news and disinformation.
00:10Following the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte, this is what Mela Lesmora said.
00:17Some congressmen are already alarmed by the spread of fake news and disinformation online.
00:26Especially after the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:30According to House Assistant Majority Leader Zia Alonto Adjong, what is scary here is that even our national security could be affected.
00:39That is why it is time for new regulations to be implemented on social media.
00:44According to House Deputy Majority Leader Paulo Ortega.
00:49To our colleagues in the public, we need to be more discerning and watch carefully.
00:56AI is a very powerful tool, but when used for bad things, it is also very destructive.
01:06I think it's time that the government should step in and to regulate the proliferation of this.
01:13Because on social media, if you don't have guidelines on how we can actually use this in order to come up with a conversation that is based on truths and facts,
01:23it is not only our government that will be affected, but all aspects of life, business, and reputation of each of us.
01:32This Friday, the House Tri-Committee will continue their hearing on the issue of fake news.
01:39They are expected to discuss the issue with the people involved in the ICC.
01:45Gabriela Partilis, Representative Arlene Brosas, also gave examples of fake news that she hopes the Tri-Committee will investigate tomorrow.
01:54It is very dangerous, especially during the time of Duterte's arrest.
02:00There were many rallies, not only here, not only here in the Philippines.
02:06Fake news has reached the extent of distorting the looks of victims of extrajudicial killings.
02:16This method is being used to spread malicious and untrue news.
02:34According to Tri-Committee's overall chair, Dan Fernandez, their third hearing is scheduled and they are expected to include in the agenda what is important to discuss today.
02:43If the vloggers and social media personalities they are confronting do not disappear,
02:49including former PCO Secretary Trixie Cruz Angeles, they may face contempt and detention order.
