Social media is expected to play a major role in the 2022 Philippine elections due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Face-to-face campaigning will be risky and candidates will rely heavily on social media platforms to campaign. Previous elections have shown how influential social media can be in spreading candidates' messages and shaping perceptions of them. However, social media also allows the rapid spread of misinformation, so voters will need to be discerning of what they encounter online regarding the elections.
