The Regional Program Management Office and Provincial Convergence Offices of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) in Region 12 advocate to fight misinformation and fake news through Tamang Tulong sa Tamang Impormasyon.

In today’s digital age, where communities they served often fall victim to misleading and false claims about government assistance and services, this action will help them inform and counter false narratives about agencies’ programs, ensuring that the beneficiaries that they serve receive factual, timely, and helpful information.

In the statement of Naifah S. Balindong, regional program coordinator of the 4Ps, this initiative will be followed by a series of Family Development Sessions of the city and municipal links, where beneficiaries can access the official social media accounts of the agency both at the regional and national levels.

Balindong further explained that the DSWD’s fight against fake news is a priority initiative of Secretary Rex Gatchalian to keep the agency’s primary beneficiaries away from fake news and disinformation.
