FEU Public Policy Center

The FEU Public Policy Center Foundation, Inc. (FEU PPC) successfully organized Democracy in the Digital Age: A Multi-Stakeholder Discussion on Social Media Regulation in the Philippines last May 5, 2026 at FEU Manila.

The forum brought together representatives from government, civil society, media, the academe, and the private sector to engage in an open and balanced discussion on the evolving challenges of information integrity, disinformation, and proposed social media regulation measures in the Philippines.

The discussion highlighted the importance of a multi-stakeholder approach in navigating the complexities of the digital space, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the issues surrounding online harms, freedom of expression, platform accountability, and democratic participation.

FEU PPC extends its sincere gratitude to our speakers, reactors, participants, and partners for contributing their valuable insights and perspectives toward a more informed and constructive national conversation on democracy in the digital age.
