00:00Aside from the individuals, the spread of fake news in our society is getting more and more rampant.
00:14What are the ways to find out which one is fake and which one is true?
00:19This is what Maki Pulido, one of us in the fight against fake news, is talking about.
00:24Because of technology, information is at your fingertips.
00:34Just one click and the information is already there, whether you're looking for it or not.
00:39But even if the information is instant, it doesn't mean you'll be fooled instantly.
00:45According to Professor JM Lanusa, one of the people who studies the spread of fake news,
00:53whether you believe it or not, it depends on your beliefs, experiences, biases, or weakness.
00:59That's what the people who want to fool you will do.
01:02Behind this are the social media experts, marketing experts, and scammers who will look for your tricks.
01:10Just believe it.
01:11It's designed to be convincing, no matter how determined you are to be against it,
01:16if it exploits your weaknesses, your cognitive weaknesses, or your biases.
01:22It's hard to question.
01:27Fake news has a direct implication that sometimes money or almost life is the alternative.
01:32Life is the alternative.
01:34In 2016, Mary Ann Obnamia was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer.
01:39Back then, Mary Ann was afraid of doctors' recommendations on chemotherapy.
01:43That's why she searched online for alternative medicine against cancer.
01:47The products called natural chemotherapy came out of her timeline and she was inspired by their promises.
01:54I was inspired by the information that says there's a natural content of chemotherapy,
02:00that you don't need to undergo chemotherapy.
02:03Once you take these, they say you don't need to undergo chemotherapy,
02:08you don't need to go to the hospital, you don't need to go to the doctor,
02:13because there's a natural content of chemotherapy.
02:17So I believed it, since I don't want to undergo chemotherapy.
02:22After taking these for more than four years,
02:25the lesions on Mary Ann's breast came out and her stage 2 cancer became stage 4.
02:31That's when she went to the doctor again and underwent chemotherapy and now she's cancer-free.
02:36In hindsight, why did you believe it?
02:41Maybe in my part, the hope that I was looking for another alternative,
02:48it's just hope.
02:49It's like you're going to risk it.
02:51Because you don't want this kind of medicine.
02:55Aside from the direct risk, like what happened to Mary Ann,
02:59Professor Lanuza said, in a broader or macro level, society will be at risk.
03:05What disables disinformation is the ability to trust, ability to dialogue, ability to debate.
03:11Our democratic institutions have no foundation.
03:14No one will believe the media, no one will believe the schools.
03:18How can a fake be exposed?
03:24The SIGLA Research Center's advice is still the same,
03:28to look for verified online news outlets for information.
03:32Go to a well-known news media like GMA.
03:38Because there's an accountability to these kinds of companies.
03:43Journalists can't just make random content that can be spread online.
03:50Whereas if you send it to influencers, there are no accountability measures there.
03:55So there's a tendency that no one is watching them.
04:01The fight against fake news and disinformation should be a fight for the whole society.
04:06Professor Edgar Velda of the UP Department of Family Life and Child Development
04:11created a digital book for children.
04:14Instead of banning the use of smartphones or computers,
04:18the current generation of digital natives
04:20teaches children how to process information online.
04:25In the book, we call it the red things, the red areas, the red flag.
04:29You shouldn't be watching this.
04:31The other one is agency building.
04:33Before they start accepting it as true,
04:35they should be able to stop, pause, breathe, and think.
04:40And then decide on what do I know, currently know,
04:44and then how should I respond to this new information.
04:48Basically, that's debunking.
04:50Maybe you've heard of the concept of debunking.
04:52Parents need to help.
04:54The digital book has a story guide for parents to guide them.
04:57Through that, they will also learn.
04:59This is one way to prepare the next generation
05:03that has already awakened to the digital world.
05:06For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido, for Tutok, 24 Hours.
