House tri-committee may cite 11 personalities for contempt over disinfo hearing
The House tri-committee is considering citing 11 social media personalities and vloggers for contempt if they refuse to attend a hearing on disinformation scheduled for Friday, March 21.
Those facing possible contempt citations include former PCO official Trixie Cruz-Angeles, Aeron Peña, Allan Troy 'Sass' Rogando Sasot, Elizabeth Joie Cruz, Dr. Ethel Pineda Garcia, Jeffrey Almendras Celiz, Krizette Laureta Chu, Mark Anthony Lopez, Mary Jean Quiambao Reyes, and Richard Tesoro Mata.
The tri-committee aims to uphold the integrity of congressional investigations into disinformation, which they view as a national security issue.
Key government agencies such as the AMLC, BIR, Comelec, DoJ, NBI, NTC, and PNP are invited to provide insights on regulatory measures against fake news.
Social media platform representatives from Google Philippines, Meta (Facebook), and ByteDance (TikTok) will also testify about their roles in combating misinformation.
