00:00On the other hand, in a bid to fight fake news ahead of the elections,

00:04the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center, or the CICC,

00:08is launching an app that can identify false information in just 30 seconds.

00:13Floyd Brands from PTV Manila tells us more.

00:18The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center, or CICC,

00:22is set to launch an application that will identify false information.

00:26This aims to combat fake news, especially during the elections.

00:30This tool allows a suspicious piece of information to be evaluated

00:34and identified within just 30 seconds, determining if it's fake news or disinformation.

00:39The CICC will provide the app free of charge to the Commission on Elections,

00:43or COMELEC, independent checkers, and other relevant monitoring institutions.

00:48Right now, we are in the accreditation process.

00:51We have established certain dates for training on how to use it.

00:56So all regions will have the capability.

01:20Let the true will of the people prevail.

01:29This is to enhance the fight versus fake news and disinformation.

01:33On the other hand, the Presidential Communications Office

01:35partnered with the CICC and Scam Watch Philippines.

01:39Under a memorandum agreement, they agreed to join forces

01:42in preventing the spread of misinformation and disinformation in the country.

01:46The campaign will target information designed to distort the truth and deceive the public.

01:52A national deepfake task force will be created to monitor social media content

01:57and prevent abuse on these platforms.

01:59Under the leadership of the Presidential Communications Office,

02:05it will support CICC, DICT, NBI, and other government offices

02:13in the fight against disinformation.

02:19We will develop and adopt industry standards for content creation and distribution,

02:27including establishment of guidelines for transparency and labeling of manipulated media.

02:34Our social media is too bastardized, and we have to address it.

02:40Additionally, the IRC hotline number 1326 will be recognized as the national anti-scam hotline,

02:47allowing citizens to report scams.

02:49From PTV Manila, Floyd Brents, Balitang Pambansa.
