Dear Sisters and Brothers in the Lord,
Greetings of peace! Apart from the pandemic, our society today is battling with fake news, historical revisionism, and disinformation. The De La Salle Brothers of the Philippines would like to invite the respective members of your organization, community, congregation, diocese or parish to join us in fighting fake news and standing up for democracy.
We are working in partnership with Democracy Watch Philippines (DW), a citizen-led democratic initiative founded in 2013 that seeks to uphold democratic values through good governance initiatives and electoral reform. DW promotes honest, fair, and free elections and instills electoral integrity through its activities that include voter education campaigns and electoral reform advocacies.
For the 2022 elections, DW is organizing a group of Cyber Volunteers to receive training on digital advocacy and help engage and expand the reach of DW’s disinformation content and messages. Given the pandemic of disinformation we have seen since 2016, an organized group of cyber volunteers forms a key part of the “disinformation resistance” needed to transform the Philippine political environment.
We would like to invite one or two representatives of your organization to join us for an initial orientation meeting via zoom so we could discuss how we could enjoin many religious and Church people to become vanguards of truth and beacons of hope in our world today.
May we invite you to join us on September 23, Thursday starting at 11:00 am. We will target to end on or before 12:30 pm. Please use the link below to register. If you have any questions or concerns, send an email to zak.castl@delasalle.ph.

Let us reclaim the narrative of the gospel of Jesus and celebrate our 500th year of Christianity in the Philippines with renewed zeal to proclaim the good news!
Fraternally yours,
