The LPU Young Filipino Advocates of Critical Thinking (LPU-YFACT) stands as the largest university-wide group at Lyceum of the Philippines University in Manila, dedicated to combating misinformation and advocating for responsible social media usage and critical thinking. Our goal is to uphold the organization's legacy by nurturing individuals who are adept at analyzing media and information. We are actively involved in raising awareness about the significance of critical thinking in verifying information and aim to create a knowledgeable community for present and future generations. Our objectives are to cultivate critical thinking, promote responsible social media use, and enhance digital literacy among Lyceans and Filipino youth. Through workshops, seminars, and educational content, we aim to equip them with the skills to analyze information critically, discern credible sources, and question assumptions. We also strive to create a safe online environment by promoting cyber etiquette, online empathy, and digital citizenship to counteract cyberbullying and toxic behavior. Our vision is to empower a generation that can engage with digital content, identify misinformation, and contribute positively to online conversations, fostering meaningful dialogues and social change. Together, we commit to inspiring and transforming our generation into empowered, responsible, and influential digital citizens who use social media for good.
