Disinformation is the purposeful dissemination of false information, sometimes known as fake news. It is the fabrication and dissemination of information for propagandist purposes through the manipulation of facts. It is first and mainly done with the goal of causing harm to a person, social group, organization, or country. The algorithms that control our digital world, as well as the tremendous dissemination of disinformation, have enabled tyrants, autocrats, and others with enormous power and apparatus, to construct false claims and alternate realities online.

It has influenced not just Filipino individuals' perceptions, but also the integrity of journalists and all those battling for the truth. To counteract the plague of fake news, everyone has responsibility. The spread of disinformation fuels hatred and polarization online, fosters distrust of institutions, and makes it harder for people to discern what is genuine, especially as the 2022 Philippine elections near and the plague persists.

Misuse of authority is the root cause of corruption, violence, murder, rape, and a range of other crimes. It is commonly claimed in today's culture that power corrupts. Throughout history, there have been several instances of power abuse. To summarize, spiritual intelligence will provide you with a reservoir of honesty and integrity, which are crucial qualities in a successful leader who isn't distracted with his or her own glory, who doesn't abuse power and harm society. And such leaders are desperately needed around the world!
