Philippine officials are calling for increased efforts to fight Chinese misinformation circulating online regarding the West Philippine Sea. House impeachment adviser Robert Ace Barbers specifically cited the Facebook page “Media Unlocked” as a source of this propaganda. The call to action targets the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and other government agencies. Barbers emphasized the need to actively counter false narratives and protect the public from disinformation. This move aims to address concerns over the impact of Chinese propaganda on public opinion surrounding the contested waters. Officials believe a stronger response is crucial to safeguarding Philippine interests and asserting sovereignty in the region. The issue highlights the growing concern over information warfare in the South China Sea dispute.
