00:05because it is the reason for the division of Filipinos.
00:09The details in the national news of Earl Tobias of IBC 13.
00:168 out of 11 bloggers are facing the accusation
00:19that they are about to be exempted from the contempt order
00:22if they still did not comply with the investigation of the House Trial Committee
00:27on the spread of fake news on social media.
00:29The first to answer the question was the famous political blogger, Chrisette Shu.
00:34The accused, House Assistant Majority Leader Jude Asidre,
00:38is the one who falsely and unverifiedly posted on March 13
00:42that many police officers are resigning
00:44because they can no longer work under the administration.
00:48From that post, the PNP still needs to officially announce
00:53that there are no more mass resignations that happened
00:55after the former President Duterte was arrested
00:58while Shu admitted that he only saw the alleged information on TikTok.
01:29She did not make any effort, unless you're contesting it,
01:33any effort to verify it from official sources.
01:36Mr. Chair, number one, I made sure to put the word DAO.
01:41Before that, the Presidential Communications Office Secretary, Jay Ruiz,
01:47gave a statement that the most important thing in spreading fake news
01:51is the conflict between fellow Filipinos.
01:55The children right now spend more time on the cyber world.
01:59And if you give them constant disinformation,
02:02if you give them constant lies and negative news,
02:06what will happen to the next generation of Filipinos?
02:09We will forever be divided, just like what's happening in the United States.
02:14It's now happening in our country.
02:16It's so hard now to reach out to the yellows, to the greens, to the reds,
02:21or wherever political camp you belong to.
02:25Meanwhile, Asidre admitted that the answer of the alleged vlogger
02:30is true that they cannot act as real journalists on social media.
02:34They also admitted that their opinions are personal and unverified.
