Freedom of speech should be wide open as long as it doesn't incite violence.

The Department of Justice should make its findings public and declare that it will not attempt to modify rather than follow the criteria for media subpoenas and ensure that they are followed. Moreover, the authorities should openly acknowledge the significance of whistleblowing protection of the source to reveal corruption and misconduct.

What Can We Do To Push Back Against Disinformation?

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone has a responsibility to combat the scourge of fake news.

The proliferation of disinformation increases animosity and polarization online, creates suspicion against institutions, and makes it difficult for people to identify what is authentic, especially with the 2022 Philippine elections approaching and the epidemic still present. Trolls on social media have also made it more difficult for people to conduct meaningful conversations and engage in political debates.

Disinformation, particularly that which does harm, has made it difficult for journalists and activists to continue their job.

Because of these factors, the effects of online disinformation have prompted local and international groups to work on media and information literacy projects, as well as efforts to cultivate a culture of fact-checking on social media.

Fact-checking Responsibilities:

1. Be skeptical about sources.
2. Keep your guard up and understand that not everything you read is accurate and many digital sites specialize in false news.
3. Learn how to judge sites, images used, and articles.
4. Be open to many perspectives. This increases the odds of hearing well-balanced and diverse viewpoints.
5. Be educated, and educate.

The problem isn't the abuse of power, it's the power to abuse.

Corruption, violence, murder, rape, and a variety of other crimes are all caused by misuse of power. In today's culture, it is frequently stated that power corrupts. Many examples of power abuse may be found throughout history. To sum up, spiritual intelligence will supply you with a reservoir of honesty and integrity, which are essential attributes in a strong leader who isn't consumed with his or her glory, who doesn't misuse authority and hurt society. And the world as a whole is in desperate need of such leaders!

The media is a reflection of society and functions within it. The media, while reporting the news, reflects pictures, ideas, and insights, as well as the values reflected in a way of life. The press operates on a set of principles. Those who work in the media must strengthen both their personal and institutional values to preserve the quality of journalism and press freedom.

Journalism should not and cannot be a life-threatening occupation. Free and Independent media are needed to ensure the right to freedom of opinion and expression for all.

The majority of female journalists do not disclose or publicize internet attacks. people go through, as a result of the low levels of reporting when it comes to more generally, violence against women. As a result, we should keep track of what you're seeing, what you're learning, and what you're recording & speak out against cyber-bullying connected with the murder of journalists in a way that is both gender-responsive and gender-disaggregated. We could also develop and deliver training and education. lawmakers' and law enforcement's education agencies and the judiciary to make it possible for them to do so to deal with things more effectively and acceptably with women's violence on the internet journalists.

Issues of Disinformation in the Philippine Context and How it Affects Journalists

# data[].attributes.body
Disinformation is one of the leading cause of problems here in the Philippines. It is when false information are being used to deceive someone. In this time of age, Professor Clarissa David of the College of Mass Communication of the University of the Philippines, stated that  “Disinformation is orchestrated, it’s funded, … it’s planned. In politics, it’s run by professionals.” The spread of disinformation is actually timely since the presidential election is near, that is why loads and loads of false information can be seen in the internet alone. Events in the past years had put journalism under the fire. Apparently, the rise of mal-information, disinformation and misinformation have been the leading cause of this uproar. This caused people to question the quality, impact and credibility of journalism. The people's trust on media and journalism is already fragile, and with the sheer volume of disinformation on social media, I'm afraid that journalism will experience much more reputational damage, further affecting journalists, the news media and the citizens.

With the rapid increase in the emergence of manipulated information, it is nearly impossible to distinguish fact from fiction. This is the reason as to why investigative journalism is important. Investigative Journalism is a from of journalism in which reporters deeply investigate a particular issue. Investigative journalist take up from about months to years in researching and writing their report. Investigative Journalism is very much needed in our country. With the presidential elections coming near, the emergence of this form of journalism will be welcomed as this will shed light on the truth. This form of journalism is what we need, especially in a time where loads of information are manipulated.

Journalism is in the middle of revolution.

Journalists have faced government threats, media restrictions, and the deaths of four journalists last year, making the Philippines Asia's most dangerous country for journalists. This regime despises criticism and prefers a media that is obedient. Hundreds of journalists have been murdered in this nation since the fall of Marcos, and just a handful have been sentenced to prison for their crimes.

Without a Free and Independent Media, True Democracy is Unattainable.

The president's administration has a tense relationship with the media, which it routinely accuses of prejudice or twisting statements made live on television by Duterte. Duterte spewed obscenity and vowed to retaliate against the journalists by using the government's television channel. Duterte has a big social media following and is aggressively supported by well-known bloggers with enormous Facebook followings, who have repeatedly targeted journalists.
