Sotto Files Bill Vs 'Fake News', Disinformation: Priority Bills

Senate President Vicente Sotto III has filed a bill that would penalize the spread of false information online. The bill seeks to impose penalties up to 2 million pesos or imprisonment for violators. It also aims to promote responsible internet use and penalize those who create or publish fake news. A separate 4.5 magnitude earthquake struck Surigao del Norte, a day after a 5.8 quake injured 51 people in neighboring Surigao del Sur. No damages or injuries were reported from the second quake. Additionally, two linemen in Ilocos Norte were electrocuted while working on power lines, and are being investigated by the electric cooperative.
