Abalos ‘cheapfake’ probe urged
By J.Lo
Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC).is looking into Cheapfakes or rudimentary deepfakes of former interior secretary Benhur Abalos.
Abalos is vying for senatorial seat in May 2025 midterm elections.
Billboard promoting Abalos reads: “Kalaban ng Kriminal (Enemy of criminals) Benhur Abalos.” On social media, altered version of billboard says “enemy and criminal.”
Cheapfakes are “visual disinformation for authentic images or videos are re-contextualized to deliberately alter their meaning,” CICC said, citing Commission on Elections Resolution 11064 promulgated in September.
Malicious use of social media and artificial intelligence to spread misinformation and disinformation may constitute election offense, said CICC executive director Alexander Ramos.
Creation and dissemination of deepfakes, cheapfakes, softfakes and fake news are punishable under the law, he noted.
Cybercrimes related to 2025 polls should be reported to Inter-Agency Response Center hotline 1326, Ramos said.
