‘Parang Normal’: Manila Bulletin’s campaign vs the horrors of fake news

Based on old Philippine folklore, monsters and creatures of the night can take on all shapes
and sizes in their wicked desire to terrorize communities.
Now, in the modern age, "horror" has stepped foot unto the thing that society always craves
for and needs—information.
So, in the latest iteration of its #NoToFakeNews campaign, Manila Bulletin has launched a

video series on social media to help combat the spread of fake news and disinformation. This year’s
campaign is titled ‘Parang Normal’, a contraction of the phrase “Para lang siyang normal na news
(It’s just like normal news)." It aims to brings to the fore how inaccurate information are sometimes
treated as if they are correct. Parang Normal is also a play on the word paranormal, which goes with
the theme since the campaign launch is just days before Halloween. Divided into three parts, the
campaign series unravels the evils of fake news in each episode through the lens of horror.
The similarity of fake news and horror is they are both scary. Fake news is scary in a way in
that it’s possible for us to be its victims. It doesn't choose its victims. And it may even change
people's lives just by sharing and interacting with it.
In the modern age, monsters and creatures of the night are no longer the stuff of nightmares.
They now exist in real life and in the digital world, waiting to claw on their victims.
“Today, in these extraordinary circumstances, the importance of accurate information has
become more critical than ever. Help protect yourself and others from falling victim to fake news,
contributing to a more informed and responsible digital environment,” said Semilla.
He further told readers to "be like a detective when you read or see news online".
“And if you see fake news, report it to the website or social media platform,” he said. Indeed,
everyone can be a victim of fake news.
