“It was like, we were trying to correct but the fact-checking was just being heard in our own echo chambers because there’s a separate reality already. It’s like we could not penetrate into the cells created because of disinformation,” Robredo added.Disinformation against Robredo would continue to hound her when she ran for president in the May 2022 elections. She had admitted before that“We have supporters. And our supporters were trying to fight fire with fire.
‘It’s the populist playbook, that you agitate the one party, enrage the other party, and when everything is so polarized, there is no baseline of facts anymore. There’s no chance for people to discuss and do a fair amount of discourse,” the former Vice President of the Philippines said.
