This orchestrated effort aimed to create a substantial "infrastructure of disinformation" that distorted the truth, especially concerning the brutal martial law years of the 1970s and 1980s. Through this digital ecosystem, sentiments favorable to Marcos Jr. were cultivated, consequently influencing public opinion and voting behavior.
