Globe Telecom and Facebook recently launched a new “Digital Discernment” workshop, coinciding with Safer Internet Day on February 6, 2018. More than 100 public school students and teachers from Manila participated in the workshop, which included topics to teach people how to think critically online, and identify credible information from questionable information. 

Content includes practical tips on how to verify and examine online sources, and identify facts from opinions. The workshop promotes responsible digital citizenship among teachers and students in public and private schools across the country under the “Digital Thumbprint Program” or DTP.

The workshop was led by Chelle Obligacion-Gray, Globe Director for Citizenship, Clair Deevy Facebook Head of Community Affairs Asia Pacific, Miguel Bermundo Globe Citizenship Manager, module facilitator Chris Kuzhuppilly, along with DepEd representatives.
