NewsTranscript
00:00Only 3 out of 41 vloggers who were invited by the Tri-Committee of the Camera to their hearings
00:07were involved in spreading fake information online.
00:10Some vloggers who did not attend the hearings
00:13petitioned the Supreme Court to stop the committee from summoning them to the hearing.
00:18Witness, Tina Panginiban Perez.
00:21This is the first hearing of the Tri-Committee of the Camera
00:24whose aim is to solve the longstanding problem of spreading fake information online.
00:30One of the topics discussed in the hearing
00:33is the destruction of several social media accounts
00:36that are based in the Philippines but are still connected to China.
00:40This is the smallest one.
00:41We were told that a pro-China network of ex-accounts
00:45is spreading anti-Philippine sentiment
00:47while pushing content related to Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:51We are listening to the statement of Vice President Sara Duterte about this.
00:56The question of Tri-Comm Co-Chairperson Representative Dan Fernandez
01:00The destruction of our ownership of the West Philippine Sea
01:05is affected by the spread of lies on social media.
01:10In the spread of lies on social media,
01:14the Philippine trolls are spreading false information about this.
01:21Can we consider them as traitors of the country?
01:24But of the 41 vloggers who were invited to the hearing,
01:27only 3 attended.
01:29Some vloggers said that they are from other countries.
01:33I am referring to A.K.A. Jeff DeVille.
01:37He slandered me here.
01:40He said,
01:43You are a fool.
01:46You are a waste of electricity.
01:51Respectfully, Elizabeth Joey Cruz.
01:54It's hard for you. You are slandering us
01:56when we don't have any enemies.
01:58Come here.
02:01He will give a show-cause order
02:03even to other vloggers who did not attend.
02:06He is also the lawyer
02:08and former Press Secretary Trixie Angeles
02:10who wants Tri-Comm to be disbarred.
02:13This hearing is not to suppress
02:17their freedom of speech.
02:20Our aim here is to make the police
02:25use social media platforms.
02:28We should have discipline.
02:31We should have a code of conduct.
02:34We should have ethics in using social media.
02:38The DICT admitted that they have a problem
02:41in tracking those who spread lies online.
02:44We are not saying that we will control social media,
02:47but just to allow the law enforcement agencies
02:51to have more immediate power to react.
02:54We have a challenge in obtaining information and evidence
02:57because sometimes they post fake identities on Facebook.
03:00Political trolls are not that brainwashed,
03:03uneducated, poor voters in rural areas.
03:06Some of them are from middle-class families
03:09and they see political trolling as just a side gig,
03:12a hustle to make ends meet.
03:15There are different kinds of workers
03:17and we need to hold accountable the people at the top,
03:20the elites in advertising and PR industries.
03:23There are journalists who vlog,
03:26but vlogging does not make you a journalist.
03:29As a journalist,
03:31we adhere to the core values of journalism
03:35which are truthfulness, fairness.
03:38Do you believe in social media vlogging?
03:43Do you believe that we need to have a code of conduct
03:46or at least there should be ethical standards?
03:50The Supreme Court requested that some DIC
03:53should go to the House hearing against fake news
03:57to stop violating their freedom of speech
04:00by forcing them to go to the hearing.
04:03However, the hearing was not in aid of legislation
04:07but to humiliate them and violate their freedom of speech.
04:12They also requested to stop the so-called
04:15social media regulation that violated the Constitution.
04:19They should not be included in the media
04:23because they do not broadcast news
04:26but opinions.
04:27The lawyer who is being humiliated by the committee
04:30is ready to answer.
04:32We are stopping them from continuing the hearing
04:38to stop their intimidation
04:42of us who are speaking on social media.
04:46And to end this proposed legislation.
04:50They are saying
04:52this is a regulatory framework for social media.
04:56For GMA Integrated News,
04:58I am Tina Panganiban Perez, your witness.
