“The proportion of Filipinos who say they trust news from social media fell from 22% to 20% from a year ago but those who trust “most news most of the time” rose from 27% to 32%. Trust in news among Filipinos is still below the global average of 44%, and is sixth to the last in the said metric.”

“Overall trust in the news among Filipinos (38%) has held steady since last year but lags behind the global average (40%) and remains the lowest among the five Southeast Asian media markets covered in the annual study. Filipinos under 35, in fact, are more likely to disagree that they can trust news most of the time.”

“A new Pulse Asia survey revealed that about 9 in 10 Filipino adults, or 86 percent, see the proliferation of “fake news” as a problem in the country. Only 14 percent of respondents across the country do not regard fake news as an issue.”

“Fifty-one percent of the 1,440 Filipino adults surveyed from Dec. 12-16, 2021 said it was difficult for them to know if a piece of news or information from TV, radio, or social media was fake or wrong, while 48% considered it easy.”
