Former Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles confirmed that Filipino social media influencers, including herself, attended a state-sponsored seminar in China.
The seminar, which took place from May 23 to June 5, 2023, allegedly had all expenses covered by the Chinese government.
Cruz-Angeles identified some of the attendees as Pia Morato, Tio Moreno, Mark Lopez, and Attorney Ahmed Paglinawan, noting that Moreno attended as a journalist and information officer.
The admission came during a House hearing addressing fake news and online disinformation, where Deputy Speaker David "Jayjay" Suarez questioned Cruz-Angeles about China's National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA) training programs.
