The Power of Pro-Duterte Bloggers Snubbing House Hearing Ignites Controversy

In a recent hearing conducted by the Philippine House Committees on Public Order and Safety, Information and Communications Technology, and Public Information, potential regulatory measures to curb misinformation on social media platforms were discussed. The hearing attracted controversy due to the low attendance of invited social media figures. Only three out of approximately 40 invited influencers, including former government officials and celebrities, shared their views on the spread of fake news and disinformation online.

The majority of those invited, however, failed to attend the hearing. This group consists of strong supporters of former President Rodrigo Duterte, including former National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict officials Lorraine Badoy and Jeffrey Celis, actress Vivian Velez, former broadcaster Jay Sonza, and bloggers Sass Sasot, Jun Abines, Mark Anthony Lopez, Lord Byron Cristobal (Banat By), and Krizette Chu. According to sources, their absence was due to their pro-Duterte stance.

One notable exception was Trixie Cruz-Angeles, a lawyer and former chief of the Presidential Communications Operations Office, who attended the hearing but rejected the committee's invitation, citing constitutional issues.

The controversy surrounding the hearing highlights the significant influence social media influencers can have in shaping public opinion and influencing the political landscape. The pro-Duterte bloggers who refused to attend the hearing are known for their strong online presence and have been instrumental in spreading messages supportive of Duterte.

Despite the controversy, panel members emphasized that the aim of the probe was not to suppress freedom of speech but rather to craft policy on the use of social media platforms. Rachel Khan, a professor of journalism at the University of the Philippines and co-founder of Tsek.ph, shared her policy analysis and recommendations during the hearing.

The power of pro-Duterte bloggers is undeniable. Their online presence has been instrumental in shaping public opinion and influencing the political landscape. However, their refusal to attend a hearing on potential regulatory measures to curb misinformation on social media platforms has sparked controversy and raised questions about the role of social media influencers in shaping public opinion.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
