  Twitter suspends hundreds of accounts promoting Bongbong Marcos MANILA, Philippines — Twitter has suspended hundreds of accounts reportedly linked to supporters of Philippine presidential frontrunner Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., which the social media giant said had violated its rules on manipulation and spam. Marcos is drawing support from a massive social media campaign seeking to get him elected in May, which critics say is attempting to rewrite the family’s history. Twitter said it had reviewed the accounts and hashtags identified in a recent article by news site Rappler. More than 300 accounts had been removed “for violating our platform manipulation and spam policy,” Twitter said in a statement sent to AFP Saturday. Most of them had been taken down before the Rappler article was published on Tuesday and an investigation was ongoing, it said. Filipinos are among the world’s heaviest users of social media and the country has become a key battleground for fake news. “With the

  Lacson: Presidency is All About Service, Not Power January 24, 2022 -  The presidency is all about service, not power. On this note, Partido Reporma chairman and standard-bearer Sen.

The people may not be its occupant’s masters but definitely he is their servant," he said  on his Twitter account. "Dapat ang occupant ang tingin sa sarili niya, servant. Ang ating kababayan may not be his masters but he is their servant. Kasi naluklok siya sa Malacanang, huwag niya isipin upuan ng kapangyarihan kundi upuan ng public service (The Palace's occupant should see himself or herself as a servant. Our people may not be his or her masters but he or she is their servant. If he or she were placed in Malacanang, it would be wrong for him or her to think that the Pal

  Peace Talks with Rebels to Continue under Lacson Presidency January 24, 2022 -  Peace talks with communist rebels - combined with the development of areas cleared of the New People's Army's presence - will continue under a Lacson presidency. This was made clear Monday by Partido Reporma chairman and standard-bearer Sen. Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson as he said that at the end of the day, the rebels are also Filipinos. "Unang una, tuloy-tuloy ang peace talks. Huwag natin kalimutan na kababayan natin yan (First, we will continue the peace talks. Let's not forget that they are also Filipinos)," Lacson said on "Ikaw na Ba? The Presidential Interviews on DZBB." But he maintained this must be combined with an honest-to-goodness implementation of development programs for areas cleared of the NPA's presence. Without the development projects, he said continued poverty would force many NPAs who have surrendered to join the insurgency again. Lacson said
