Absolutely. It will become worse from here onwards.

put incorruptible and competent lawmakers in congress and senate first before regulating social media

We as an ordinary people will be the judge for that. That's what FREEDOM of the PRESS is all about If you did conduct your job effectively and properly we wont have these issues in the first place. So now whether you agree or not this reality is already here. So maybe try to be competitive by being TRUTHFUL, OBJECTIVE, &, most of all RESPECTFUL. Trust isn't something to be taken for granted, and certainly it doesn't happen overnight. That is exactly what you lost "PUBLIC TRUST"....and you only have yourself to blame for that. Filipinos have given you so much dependency and trust only to realise that they've been confined for so long inside a bubble.. i think you can't blame them for having to look elsewhere for an alternative besides the mainstream media. It's one of the wonderful benefits that social media gave this age. In addition to FREEDOM OF THE PRESS we now also have the FREEDOM OF INFORMATION. And I firmly believe that Filipinos were no fools to know the difference between MISINFORMATION and DISINFORMATION not only by mind but also by heart. 🇵🇭🇦🇺

Not really... hay UP.. wala pa nga, nega agad. Sama po kayo sa open discussion para mag-lay out ng plans. Kaya nga kelangan pa-accredit para ma-monitor and penalize if irresponsible
