Rappler and around 60 groups joined the ceremonial signing and launch of the campaign on Friday, August 30, at the GMA headquarters in Quezon City. According to GMA Network, Panata Kontra Fake News is an “advocacy campaign against fake news.” The “panata” or vow sent to groups invited to the campaign asserts that the spread of false information is a threat against democracy and good governance. It also declares that responsible news reporting is the best defense against “fake news.”
At least one government agency, the Commission on Elections, represented by its chairman George Garcia, has signed on. Search engine Google is also a part of the campaign. “Although ‘fake news,’ quote on quote, became frequently used in political and media discourse, it was only in 2016 that it has been pervasive through the ages,” he said.“Truth is the very mechanism by which we build a better nation. It is not always viral, but it remains the best story to tell,” he said, in closing.
