摘要：The current political dispensation in the Philippines has placed critical cultural expression under duress. The law is weaponized to silence journalists and broadcasters; independent and community media are harassed and threatened; films and screening programs are red-tagged; the audiovisual industries are subjected to irregular forms of regulation; public opinion on social media is algorithmically influenced by a well-oiled network of disinformation; and dissent is criminalized, branded as terrorism. The cultural archive, or the repository of the zeitgeist recorded in daily expressions and interactions, is being manipulated to legitimize fascism and reorient history.
