‘True Leila Project’ fast-checking website launched 19 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Mario CasayuranOpposition Senator Leila M. de Lima said Saturday her office has launched a fact-checking website called “True Leila Project” designed to combat the ‘’relentless spread of false content and misleading information against her across the Internet.’’De Lima said the website, trueleilaproject.com, will become a one-stop destination for the Filipino populace, including journalists and researchers, to confirm the veracity of the malicious information and false narratives peddled against her by malevolent forces. She stressed that the “True Leila Project” seeks to address and counter the fake news directed against her as well as for the public to know the ‘true Senator Leila’ – who, aside from being a lawyer and a lawmaker, is also a mother and a staunch advocate for human rights, social justice and democracy. De Lima said the “True Leila Project” was a humble initiative dedicated primarily to combat the fake news directed against de Lima, who has been continually subjected to fake news stories by political manipulators who are hell-bent to ruin her reputation. Sadly, some people were led to believe that they were true because of the government’s propaganda machineries and their paid trolls,” De Lima said.
