Red-tagging a vicious form of fake news

When we talk of fake news and disinformation, we think of social media. That’s understandable because this is the era of Facebook, Twitter, You Tube, Instagram and other social media platforms.

But the list of alleged CPP-NPA members prepared by unidentified sources delivered during an event last Friday in Cagayan de Oro reminds us that the old form of disinformation is still being done and it’s viciousness has not diminished a bit.

There was a launching of Hustisya Northern Mindanao, a group made up of victims of martial law in Mindanao which began during the siege of Marawi City in on March 23, 2017 and has not been lifted up to now, at the Philtown Hotel in Cagayan de Oro city.
