ONLINE INVASION: How are foreign powers influencing public opinion in the Philippines? | Part 3
Description
Has your feed been invaded — by China, America, or any other foreign power? How can you tell?
Open-source intelligence analyst Giano Libot explains how foreigners shape and influence public opinion in the Philippines. He discusses how a recent statement by AFP Chief Romeo Brawner was taken out of context and went viral, showing how narratives can be twisted and amplified online.
This is the third and final episode in Howie Severino’s special series on Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI).
Libot and Severino unpack how local influencers and bot networks can spread propaganda that originates from foreign state media. Together, they explore how this kind of online meddling undermines trust, distorts public debate, and threatens our democracy.
Don’t miss the full conversation—and stay tuned for a special upcoming episode on heritage conservation!
