In the Philippines, the enormous battle for press freedom has been an issue for decades, including the gory suppression of Filipino journalists, the pervasive hurdle in misinformation; and these conflicts are merely part of the massive issues that Philippine journalism faces. The adaptability of the media industry, particularly journalism to the Internet age where social media platforms and digital media arise, also contribute to these issues — to the intensifying case of the media industry’s survival fight.

So I decided to do some digging and what I found was both interesting and terrifying all at the same time. Regardless of whether you lean left or right, I think you should be concerned and stay informed on what Project 2025 is, and today I'm going to be so kind as to give you a quick rundown, including some videos that you should watch.
