On Sunday morning, Senator Dela Rosa reposted content from the Facebook page “Ay Grabe,” which featured a video of street interviews showing individuals—mostly youth—voicing their opposition to the possible impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte. The senator captioned the post with a politically charged remark: “Mabuti pa ang mga bata nakakaintindi sa mga pangyayari. Makinig kayo mga yellow at mga komunista!”
The post quickly gained traction, amassing over 11,000 reactions and 1,200 shares as of this writing.
However, EXE Tech Solutions was quick to respond, flagging the video as AI-generated and cautioning both the senator and the general public about the dangers of misinformation.
“EVEN SENATORS CAN BE FOOLED BY AI,” the tech page stated. “Kids, this is why you always have to be careful with the contents you share. Just because something aligns with your ideals… take everything with a grain of salt.”
The group emphasized how artificial intelligence has evolved to the point where it can create hyper-realistic visuals that are difficult to distinguish from genuine footage. According to EXE Tech Solutions, such technology can easily be weaponized for political propaganda if left unchecked.
“Especially now that AI has been more capable in terms of producing close-to-real-life quality of graphics… it can be utilized in a propaganda machine,” the page warned.
To combat this growing issue, the group urged the public to develop stronger media literacy skills and to become more discerning when consuming online content.
“Train yourselves to detect such deceptions. And after that, train others how to do it,” the page added.
The incident has sparked renewed conversations online about the responsibility of public officials to verify the authenticity of materials before sharing them, particularly as AI-generated content becomes more prevalent and convincing.
