GOOGLE - YT

 As the 2025 midterm elections approaches, Filipinos are turning to Google and YouTube for the latest election news. Recognizing this, Google and YouTube have taken proactive steps to connect voters to reliable information online.

When a viewer searches for something related to a 2025 senatorial candidate on YouTube, an information panel will appear above the search results that highlights the candidate’s information. This could include their political party and a click-through to Google Search to learn more.

On Election Day, YouTube viewers will find a prominent shelf on the homepage showcasing live coverage from authoritative news organizations. This shelf will feature streams in both English and Filipino, enabling viewers to follow the election news and results as they unfold. Furthermore on May 12, the Commission on Elections’ (COMELEC) “How to vote” playlist will be promoted on YouTube, providing Filipinos with relevant materials, requirements, and a step-by-step guide to voting.

On Search, Google’s ranking systems are designed to elevate authoritative information and provide context to voters on a variety of election-related information.

Safeguarding platforms from abuse

Protecting the integrity of elections also means keeping Google and YouTube products safe from abuse. The company has long-standing policies to keep its platforms safe, and these apply to everyone and for all types of content, including elections.

YouTube’s Community Guidelines determine what is not allowed on the platform and apply to all content, regardless of language, how it is generated, or political viewpoint, position or affiliation. Content that misleads voters on how to vote or encourages interference in the democratic process is prohibited on YouTube. YouTube quickly removes content that incites violence, encourages hatred, promotes harmful conspiracy theories, or threatens election workers. The latest Transparency Report shows the Philippines ranked 8th globally for videos removed for violating YouTube policies (over 153,000) between October and December 2024. Repeated violations of YouTube’s policies could lead to channel termination.

Helping people navigate AI-generated content

As more people interact with AI-generated content, Google and YouTube have introduced policies and tools to help people navigate this including:

Content labels on YouTube. YouTube requires creators to disclose whether the video they have uploaded contains any altered or synthetic content. Labels are then added to the description panel indicating this alteration, providing important context for viewers. For content about elections, viewers will see when a label is applied directly to the video player. These labels are applied regardless of the creator, political viewpoints, or language.

Providing voters with additional context. “About this Image” in Search helps people assess the credibility and context of images found online. The double-check feature in Gemini evaluates whether there is content across the web to substantiate its response.

Digital watermarking. Google is committed to finding ways to ensure every image generated through its products has embedded watermarking with DeepMind’s SynthID.

Industry collaboration. Google and YouTube joined the C2PA coalition and standard, a global cross-industry effort to help provide more transparency and context for people on AI-generated content. This brings C2PA’s technical standards for metadata to Ads, Search and YouTube.

For media organizations, Google trains the press to leverage AI technology through AI Workshops. This program equips publishers, editors, and business leaders at news organizations with the knowledge and tools to experiment with and learn about generative AI, using a structured framework with guidance from AI experts and industry mentors. Lessons and insights from the workshop can be applied to election news coverage.

Supporting media literacy programs and COMELEC

Google and YouTube will not allow political ads during the election cycle. Instead, the company is proactively supporting the COMELEC and media literacy efforts to ensure voters can access useful, trustworthy information across its platforms.

Google has been investing in local media literacy programs to teach readers to identify trusted information. This includes entering into partnerships with organizations like CANVAS in creating a media literacy magazine called YOUTHink. YOUTHink has been adapted for various regions in the Philippines, publishing in several languages including Filipino, Cebuano, and Ilocano.

In a collaborative effort to bolster election integrity, Google extended its support to COMELEC through specialized training workshops. These sessions detailed Google’s strategies for safeguarding elections on its platforms, best practices from YouTube to ensure platform safety during critical periods, and a thorough walkthrough of the reporting tools available to government partners. This enabled COMELEC to coordinate with YouTube more effectively to escalate content for review and appropriate action by YouTube on content that violates the platform’s policies.

“Supporting the elections is important to Google and YouTube. As Filipinos prepare for the May 12 elections, we are committed to robust collaboration with the government, industry, media, and civil society. Together, we will help ensure that voters have access to authoritative information and safeguard our platforms from abuse,” said Yves Gonzalez, Head of Public Policy and Government Relations at Google Philippines.

“A well-informed electorate is fundamental to COMELEC’s mission for credible elections. We thank and commend Google for their continued, valuable contributions in ensuring Filipinos have accessible and reliable election information online, empowering them to make informed choices for the midterm elections,” said George Erwin Mojica Garcia, Chairperson of the Commission on Elections.

Heads up, voters! The countdown to the May 12, 2025 National and Local Elections has begun—and this year, casting your vote just got a whole lot easier.

SM Supermalls offers a convenient mall voting experience for the 2025 elections, with 20 SM malls where people can vote.

From Luzon to Mindanao, SM Supermalls is proud to open its doors—rent-free—for the benefit of Filipino voters. And don’t worry, COMELEC’s got the backend handled: trained election personnel, full compliance with electoral rules, and tight coordination for logistics and security.

Why mall voting works

The goal? A smoother, more inclusive voting experience—especially for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), senior citizens, and pregnant voters. Think ramps, elevators, comfortable seating, and spacious voting areas—all in a familiar and accessible setting.

“We believe democracy should be inclusive, convenient, and secure,” shared Junias Eusebio, Vice President for Mall Operations at SM Supermalls. “By offering our malls as voting venues, we’re not just making it easier to vote—we’re helping empower every Filipino to make their voice heard.”

Democracy meets convenience

This isn’t SM’s first time teaming up with government agencies. Through the SM Government Service Express (GSE), select SM malls already offer one-stop access to services like ID processing, permits, and more. The MVP is yet another way SM Supermalls is stepping up to serve the public in meaningful ways.

Plan ahead

Eligible for mall voting? Expect an official advisory from COMELEC about your assigned voting venue. Then, on May 12, head to your designated SM mall, bring a valid ID, and vote with ease.

Let’s all do our part—vote smart, vote safe, and vote comfortably.

For most, watching a movie is an everyday treat. But for those with visual impairments, it’s often an experience left out of reach. Led by Project ADAM (Audio Description Awareness Movement), SM Cares, SM Cinema, GMA Pictures, GMA Public Affairs, and Hit Productions Inc., with support from The Nippon Foundation, Overbrook School for the Blind, CBM Global, ICEVI, Beneficent Technology, Inc. (Bookshare) and Quantum Post, families and individuals across the country are discovering the magic of the movies—together.

1

SM Cinema at SM City Calamba is filled with heart warming applause and positive vibes during the ‘Movies for the Blind’ screening.

As part of SM Supermalls’ ongoing commitment to accessibility and inclusion, SM malls have begun hosting audio-described film screenings specially designed for persons who are blind or visually impaired. These unique screenings include narrated descriptions of scenes, settings, and actions, allowing all moviegoers to share in the full experience.

For many attendees, the program is more than just entertainment—it’s a moment of connection, belonging, and joy. Parents have shared how this initiative makes their children feel seen, valued, and included. Teachers and caregivers say it gives their students a rare opportunity to participate equally in something as simple—but meaningful—as a trip to the cinema.

“This is more than just a film screening—it’s a movement,” says Project ADAM Convenor Ronnel del Rio. “We’re paving the way for a future where accessibility in media is the norm, not the exception.” Project ADAM is also pushing for legislation to make Audio Description a standard feature in Filipino films, ensuring equal access to entertainment for all.

3

The screenings are part of SM Cares’ year-round efforts to make public spaces more inclusive. A culminating event will be held at SM Megamall in August 2 in celebration of White Cane Safety Day, recognizing the rights and dignity of persons with visual impairment.

“Movies for the Blind is a reminder that inclusion starts with empathy—by opening our spaces, we open hearts,” said Engr. Bien C. Mateo, SM Cares Program Director for Disability Affairs. “With this new innovative way of presenting movies to our audiences, we hope to increase accessibility and touch even more lives through the wonders of cinema and storytelling,” added Engr. Bien C. Mateo.

Through programs like this, SM continues to show that every mall can be a safe, welcoming space for all—regardless of ability.
