Fake news in the Philippines refers to the general and widespread misinformation or disinformation in the country by various actors. The term is a misnomer because "news" is defined as the "accurate and timely reporting of events, ideas and issues." However, the term "fake news" has been popularized by those who seek to undermine trust in media. It has been problematic in the Philippines where social media and alike plays a key role in influencing topics and information ranging from politics, health, belief, religion, current events, aid, lifestyle, elections and others. The 2025 Reuter's Institute Digital News Report found that 67% of Filipinos believed the spread of disinformation as a serious problem. This point of view comes in the wake of widespread disinformation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines and the 2022 and 2025 Philippine general elections.
