Complementing this is the study “ authored by Dr. Jon Benedik Bunquin and Ms. Fatima Gaw from the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman and published in the PCS Review. The research explored the digital landscape of the 2022 Philippine general elections across major social media platforms.
Expert discussants will offer insights on the findings, focusing on their implications for media policy, industry development, and the public’s access to accurate and diverse information.
