‘Panata Kontra-Fake News’ wins award

TDT

Launched on National Press Freedom Day 2024, Panata Kontra-Fake News is a bold, multi-sectoral initiative that empowers Filipinos to stand against disinformation. Spearheaded by GMA Network in collaboration with key partners in media, education and technology, the campaign champions media literacy, truth-telling and critical thinking across a wide spectrum of audiences.

GMA Integrated News led the charge in mobilizing nearly 60 partner organizations through a landmark MoA signing event, while driving sustained efforts such as multi-platform fact-checking initiatives and the GMA Masterclass: Eleksyon 2025 Dapat Totoo Series which gathered more than 12,000 students in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, empowering the young generation of Filipinos and championing the fight against fake news.

Through impactful special reports, interactive multimedia content, and immersive storytelling deployed across TV, radio and digital platforms, the campaign has reached millions, equipping the masses with the tools to spot and reject falsehoods in everyday life. 

The campaign’s success was made possible through the strong support of advocacy collaborators, from academic institutions and media organizations to tech companies, who helped amplify its reach and deepen its societal impact.

The Asia Pacific Broadcasting+ Awards celebrates excellence in broadcasting, innovation and digital transformation across the region. Winners are recognized not only for outstanding content but also for redefining the media landscape and driving meaningful change.
