MANILA, Philippines (Update 2, 6:32 p.m.) — Reporters of mainstream media outlets may soon find themselves in the company of vloggers in Malacañang as the incoming administration of President-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is looking to accredit them as well to cover the presidential palace.

Incoming Press Secretary Trixie Cruz Angeles told a briefing over state-run People’s Television that they, at the Presidential Communications Operations Office, are “pushing for accreditation of vloggers to be invited to some of the briefings” especially those conducted by Marcos himself.

"That is one of the priorities we formulated for the incoming PCOO. We’re also looking at things like opening up discourse and looking at issues of disinformation that seem to be a hot-button topic nowadays," Angeles said.
