June 3, 2026

Watch CPDG’s interview with Rhea Padilla, News Director of AlterMidya, as she dissects Sandro Marcos’ anti-disinformation bill or HB 2697 and gives her insights on how the proposed legislation can be harmful towards people’s right to freedom of expression. 

HB 9465, the substitute bill for HB 2697, has already passed second reading at Congress and is set for voting on the third reading, today. CSOs express opposition to the passage of the bill as it could be weaponized against citizen dissent and advocacy work.
