Show-cause orders issued vs vloggers who skipped tri-comm hearing
The House Tri-Committee issued show cause orders to several vloggers and content creators who failed to attend a hearing on social media disinformation regulations.
Approximately 40 social media personalities were invited, but only three attended: lawyer Ricky Tomotorgo, columnist Malou Tiquia, and vlogger Marc Gamboa.
Excuses for absence included short notice, being out of town, or out of the country.
Some critics viewed the hearing as an attempt to stifle free speech, prompting a reminder from Abang Lingkod party-list Rep. Joseph Stephen Paduano about proper hearing procedures.
Paduano explained that absent resource persons should submit an excuse letter, and those without valid excuses will be invited via show cause order for future hearings.
