This is what more than 100 organizations from the media, coalitions, civil society, business, academe, law, and the Church said as they launched a first-of-its kind initiative on Wednesday, January 26, 2022, called “#FactsFirstPH.”
“Truth is not just about gathering and reporting facts. It entails deeper analysis and parsing of the words and information that are released to us through various platforms so we can the full and real picture of issues. And we can only do that through the concerted efforts of the purveyors and consumers of information,” Daily Guardian editor-in-chief Francis Allan L. Angelo said.
The goal of FactsFirstPH is to make truth spread faster and further than lies and hate. It’s a first-of-its-kind, four-layer approach to help restore the integrity of elections, and give the public the information they need to choose the leaders they want on May 9. “We are honored to support this grassroots movement across journalism, academia, civil society, and the legal community in the battle against misinformation to help Filipinos make an informed vote and protect the integrity of the democratic process,” Liu added.
