Marcos says Filipinos ‘suffer’ from disinformation, to launch media and information literacy campaign

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said his administration will launch a media and information literacy campaign as the Philippines is plagued by disinformation and misinformation.

During the 14th edition of the International Conference of Information Commissioners on Monday, Marcos touted the Freedom of Information program.

To fight disinformation and misinformation, he said the national government will roll out a media and information literacy campaign designed to be digital, multi-media, and youth-oriented. A recent report by Britain-based Reuters Institute showed that influencers were becoming more popular as a news source compared to journalists among young people.

The Oxford Philippines Society said Marcos did not finish his Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree at the prestigious university, citing the confirmation made by the university in 2015.
