MANILA, Philippines – Nanawagan si Senador Raffy Tulfo sa mga awtoridad ng Cambodia na tukuyin at arestuhin ang mga utak at sindikatong sangkot sa patuloy na pagdami ng mga Pilipinong biktima ng human trafficking.
Sa ASEAN+3 meeting ng 151st Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Assembly sa Geneva noong Oktubre 19, sinabi ni Tulfo: “We call on the Cambodian authorities to strengthen their borders… these traffickers, they use this route of going to Cambodia from the Philippines, trafficking these Filipino workers, and this should be addressed immediately.”
“This is becoming a serious issue and they should be vigilant and make sure to identify these traffickers,” dagdag pa niya.
Samantala, nanawagan naman si Senador Erwin Tulfo ng mas mahigpit na mekanismo laban sa pagpapakalat ng maling impormasyon. Aniya, ang fake news ay “can erode public trust, distort democratic discourse, and even incite anger and violence.”
“Our task, therefore, is not to silence voices, but to safeguard truth; to ensure that the digital public square remains a place for informed dialogue, not deception,” ani Erwin.
Hinimok din niya ang pamumuhunan sa media literacy upang matulungan ang publiko na “better discern truth from lies,” at idinagdag na “the fight against disinformation is not only about defending our leaders; it is about defending democracy itself.”
Kabilang din sa delegasyon ng Pilipinas sa IPU sina Sen. Imee Marcos at ilang mambabatas. RNT
