The recent report alleging that the Chinese Embassy in Manila entered into a contract with a Philippine-based marketing firm to organize a troll farm and deploy “keyboard warriors” is deeply alarming. If true, this constitutes a deliberate act of foreign interference aimed at manipulating public opinion, spreading disinformation, and sowing division among the Filipino people.
Such actions are not only a threat to our democracy but also a direct challenge to our sovereignty—especially as we continue to assert our rightful claims in the West Philippine Sea. The silence of the Chinese Embassy on this issue only raises further concern.
We stand in full support of all efforts to expose the truth and demand accountability from those involved. Let us remain united in defending our nation from foreign influence and disinformation. In this critical moment, the Filipino people must stand firm and unwavering in upholding our national interest, truth, and territorial integrity.
