Senatorial aspirant Antonio Trillanes IV has called on the people to fight “digital threats, fake news, and trolls” to change the country’s digital landscape.
He said that fighting disinformation and misinformation will be a part of his agenda if he wins a seat back in the Senate.
Trillanes released an 82-second political ad on March 1 that talks about his advocacies in the Senate. He said he has also been a victim of fake news for the past six years.
He highlighted in his video the importance of changing the political narrative by voting against corruption and human rights abuses.
“Magbabago ang lahat ngayong 2022 kung tatalikuran natin ang pulitika ng pagnanakaw sa kaban ng bayan at pagpapapatay ng mga tao. Gaganda ang bukas nating lahat,” Trillanes wrote in the description of his video posted on Facebook.
“At ngayong tayo ay nasa social media age, magtulungan tayo labanan ang digital threats gaya ng fake news at trolls,” he added.
Part of Trillanes’ program focuses on strengthening the micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to relieve hunger and create more jobs.
“Patuloy pa rin tayo magbabantay laban sa korupsyon…Magbabago ang lahat sa 2022 — kung ikaw, ako, at tayong lahat ay magtutulungan dito. Walang iwanan. Tuloy-tuloy lang ang laban,” Trillanes said. Ronald Espartinez
