By Nidz Godino
“Now more than ever, we need your help in empowering our people to distinguish truth from fiction and facts from blatant lies,” President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. during oath-taking of the Board of Trustees of Association of Philippine Journalists (APJ)-Samahang Plaridel Foundation Inc. at Malacañang asked members of Philippine media help in fight against fake news, has become more dangerous with “unregulated social media” and artificial intelligence.
Marcos made call weeks after “fake video” circulated on social media linking him to alleged illegal drug use.
Separate forensic analysis conducted by National Bureau of Investigation and Philippine National Police showed man supposedly taking drugs in viral video was not Marcos.
FMJ cited crucial role of APJ-Samahang Plaridel Foundation in upholding freedom of the press, fostering accuracy in journalism and policing errant practitioners within their ranks.
“May you also find inspiration and guidance in life and works of Plaridel, or Marcelo H. del Pilar , Father of Philippine Journalism by practicing courageous, compassionate and committed journalism,” he stressed.
Marcos also assured Filipino journalists of his administration’s continuing support in ensuring their safety and welfare through Presidential Task Force on Media Security.
“We will also foster environment where members of media can continue to freely practice their profession in manner fruitful, rewarding and meaningful,” he said.
