Commission on Elections' former spokesperson James Jimenez has been replaced for him to focus on fighting disinformation in social media, a top poll body official said Saturday.
Director James Jimenez had been Comelec's spokesperson for 15 years, and he is recently replaced, probably, so that he could focus on combating election-related disinformation, Comelec Commissioner George Garcia said. “We cannot speculate on the action of the chairman [Saidamen Pangarungan]. But, that is an exercise of his discretion ‘yung pag-a-assign ng spokesperson ,” Garcia said during the destruction of defective and roadshow ballots in Quezon City.
“Siguro ang nasa isip lang ni chairman, he wants Director James to focus on the information and education ang dami kasing fake news na naglipana na ngayon. Hindi naman pwede na spokesperson ka na nga tapos kakalabanin ‘yung fake news, disinformation, misinformation that we have right now in social media,” Garcia pointed out.designation of law department director Rex LaudiangcoJimenez remains as the director of the Comelec’s Education and Information Department, a post he held since 2004.
“For my part, I shall continue to serve as faithfully as I have these past 18 years, with due deference to the will and wisdom of the Commission,” he added.
