NewsTranscript
00:00Two women were arrested in Cote by a police officer
00:04who was first arrested while running a rent-a-car scheme.
00:08Watch this in my exclusive coverage.
00:14According to the informant,
00:18Did he get the body?
00:19Yes, he did.
00:21The next one arrested by the Highway Patrol Group Task Force Limbas
00:24in a mall in Pampanga is Alyas Didit.
00:27Don't worry, you're in the right hand, Did.
00:30Oh, he's with Alyas Kat.
00:32The two women were wanted for violating the Anti-Carnapping Law
00:35after being involved in a rent-a-car scheme.
00:38They will have to fabricate the Certificate of Registration
00:43and the receipt so that it would appear that their sale of cars is legal.
00:50They are offering this on social media.
00:54The court issued a warrant of arrest on August 12
00:56after the complainants demanded that
00:59they were involved in a car rental scheme
01:01because they were involved in a road accident.
01:03Most of their victims are OFWs who were forced to borrow money.
01:08There were also teachers who were victims
01:12and who also borrowed money to pay their rent.
01:14In the investigation, the two women were accused
01:17of running a rent-a-car scheme
01:19by a police lieutenant colonel who was first arrested by the police.
01:24They were later denied bail.
01:26I had nothing to do with it, sir.
01:28First of all, the accident was caused by my financier.
01:33I shouldn't be involved in this
01:35because I'm the only owner of the house
01:37where the car was taken from.
01:42For GMA Integrated News, I'm Emilio Sumangil.
01:45Tune in for 24 hours.
01:47In the midst of the continuous spread of social media,
01:50fake news spread like trolls.
01:55Some of them talked to GMA Integrated News
01:58and told how they worked as spreaders of fake information.
02:03And that's what Mariz Umali is talking about
02:05in our case against fake news.
02:17In the midst of the continuous spread of social media,
02:20fake news spread like trolls.
02:23Do you know which is the truth and which is the fake news?
02:29Fake news is made up of information
02:31that looks like the truth
02:33that is far-fetched and manipulated by the public.
02:37In a study by Dr. Jonathan Ong and Dr. Jason Cabañas,
02:43fake news started to become popular in the Philippines
02:45during the 2016 election.
02:47What we found was that
02:49it's more normalized for politicians
02:52to be doing digital operations.
02:54For some people, yes, it is explicitly political.
02:57They want to elect into office.
02:59And one of the most lucrative and most available jobs
03:03is digital operations.
03:06One of the fakes was a former graduate,
03:09Chris.
03:11He didn't have a real name.
03:13Because he was looking for a job in 2015,
03:16he jumped to the bright side.
03:20At first, he was just a moderator of a Facebook page
03:23that was used in the election.
03:25Until...
03:26I just found out that I was going to work for a politician.
03:31Okay.
03:32What did they tell you to do?
03:34At first, they told me to monitor the comments,
03:37to delete the comments,
03:39to block those who say it's not good.
03:42But at first, we need to make content or posts
03:47that will damage the opponent of our candidate.
03:51Chris didn't know then
03:53that he was going to troll.
03:55He didn't know the word troll in 2015.
03:59It's very simple.
04:00The caption is ready,
04:02the pictures are ready,
04:04where you will post it,
04:06what time you will share it.
04:08How much was your salary there?
04:09I started with P17,000.
04:13We were paid in cash.
04:15What was the worst thing you wrote?
04:17We accused a candidate of being a troll.
04:21Because it's not proven that our client is a troll.
04:29This is where Chris slowly felt that there was something wrong.
04:33Day by day, our boss is pressuring us
04:37to think that this can be thrown at the opponent,
04:41even if it's not true,
04:43even if he exaggerated it.
04:45But you still followed him.
04:49Yes.
04:50I'm making money,
04:52so why would I stop?
04:54It's already near the end.
04:56The hierarchy or structure of a troll farm is simple.
05:00The client or the one who benefits from disinformation is the boss.
05:05Next is the troll operator or consultant
05:08who is in charge of the entire operation.
05:11And they are the troll workers who spread misinformation
05:15using stolen identities
05:17that they usually get from other countries,
05:20particularly in Southeast Asia.
05:22There are bosses,
05:24and they won't ever call themselves a troll,
05:27but they are actually the real masterminds of the operations.
05:32And they will dictate the talk points
05:34and the main kinds of stories
05:36that the influencers and fake account operators
05:39are instructed to share and spread on social media.
05:45In this kind of work,
05:47Val is not a real name.
05:50He was hired to be a digital operator,
05:53the best country for troll workers.
05:56But he did not enroll as a candidate,
05:58but as a businessman.
06:00The company that hired him was competent.
06:03We are trolls, ma'am.
06:04We are using all of our accounts.
06:08Oh, yes.
06:09Their service is really bad.
06:12The system is corrupt.
06:15According to Chris and Val,
06:17it's easy for people to believe.
06:19What we noticed is that
06:21sometimes they exaggerate,
06:23and that's why more people like and react.
06:26Topics that instill fear, anxiety, or resentment,
06:31these are the topics that are really being attacked by trolls.
06:36And this is what they use
06:38to use as digital weapons, really,
06:41to steer the conversation,
06:43to draw people's attention.
06:47What's sad is that
06:48even politicians who are angry at fake news
06:51are being forced to use trolls.
06:53Now, even those who had tried to denounce
06:57disinformation and fake news,
06:59they feel like they have to fight fire with fire these days.
07:03It's becoming more normalized.
07:05It's becoming more professionalized.
07:07It's more expected now that we need to fight too.
07:11We need to be meme wars too.
07:15But in the midst of spreading misinformation,
07:18we can still do something to fight fake news.
07:21We need to empower workers,
07:23empower our students,
07:25to have better vocabulary of ethics,
07:28better vocabulary of good and bad practice.
07:31It's like we're overlooking the questions of ethics.
07:38Val and Chris admitted
07:40that their illegal job
07:43is to live every day in fear.
07:47I was afraid when I realized
07:50that the operator was holding our information.
07:54We are trolls.
07:56You know where we live.
07:58So, if there's a robbery,
08:02he can replace us.
08:04There's also the fear of what if.
08:07Of course, there's a lot of people
08:09because we're giving away our IDs.
08:12In the end,
08:14they were the ones who decided to back out.
08:17It's like guilt, ma'am.
08:19It's like you were fooled, ma'am.
08:22And now, you're fooling yourself.
08:24I'm not being hypocritical.
08:26A lot of money will be lost.
08:28But I can't guarantee my conscience
08:30that what I'm doing is wrong.
08:32It's really wrong.
08:33I blame him.
08:36We have the power to fight
08:38We have the power to fight fake news.
08:41Let's start by being watchable
08:43by other parties.
08:45Because our freedom to live
08:47in the truth is very important.
08:51For TMI Integrated News,
08:53I'm Marine St. Umali,
08:54for 24 Hours.
09:02My dear listeners,
09:03please be prepared
09:04because it's possible
09:05that it will rain again tomorrow
09:08like what happened earlier
09:10in some places.
09:11Based on the data of Metro Weather,
09:13there's a chance of rain in Palawan,
09:15Mindoro Provinces,
09:16Quezon, Bicol Region,
09:18Panay Island,
09:19Eastern Visayas,
09:20Zamboanga Peninsula,
09:21BARMM,
09:23Davao Region,
09:24and Sok Sargent.
09:25There will be heavy rain,
09:27especially in the afternoon,
09:28so be alert
09:30in the possibility of a landslide.
09:32In Metro Manila,
09:33there's also a chance
09:34that it will rain again,
09:35including in the morning,
09:36afternoon,
09:37and evening.
09:40For now,
09:41there's no storm
09:42or bad weather
09:43in the Philippine Area
09:45of Responsibility.
09:47Easter Leaks,
09:48or the hot wind
09:50from the Pacific Ocean
09:51will still be a problem
09:53in the country.
09:54But that weather system
09:55is also possible
09:56for thunderstorms to fall,
09:58so it's also possible
10:00for heavy rain
10:02to fall in some places.
10:05The Philippine soldiers
10:07from America,
10:08Australia,
10:09United Kingdom,
10:10Japan,
10:11and South Korea
10:12will train together
10:13in the exercises
10:14that started today.
10:15The soldiers from France,
10:16Thailand,
10:17and Indonesia
10:18will also be there
10:19as observers,
10:20according to
10:21Philippine Navy Marine Corps
10:22Commandant Major General
10:23Arturo Rojas.
10:24Our soldiers
10:25will be trained
10:26separately
10:27in terms of
10:28counterterrorism,
10:29regional security,
10:30and incidents.
10:31The exercises
10:32will last until
10:33October 22,
10:34and will be held
10:35in different places
10:36in Cavite,
10:37Ilocos,
10:38and Palawan.
10:40Following the back-out
10:41of a local partner
10:42of Miru Systems,
10:43Transparency is now
10:44the request
10:45of a group
10:46related to the split
10:47of those
10:48who are in
10:49its joint venture.
10:50As part of their
10:51intention,
10:52who will join
10:53those who should
10:54join it?
10:55Mark Salazar
10:56has the answer.
10:57The Civil Society Group
10:58Right-to-Know
10:59Right-Now Coalition
11:00is concerned
11:01that the hole
11:02in the back-out

11:04three Philippine partners
11:05in the joint venture
11:06with Miru of Korea
11:07might be
