Influence Operations During Elections in the Philippines and Beyond: A Conversation with Michael Navallo
With more than fifty national elections taking place during 2024, in countries that comprise more than half the world’s population, it has never been more critical to secure the integrity of the information space—and never more challenging. The Philippines has been reckoning with this challenge since at least its 2016 election, which led some to refer to the country as “Patient Zero” for its early experience with industrial-scale information manipulation, designed to confuse and manipulate the public.
Michael Navallo is a Filipino journalist, lawyer, and a former Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellow, who serves as Chief Communications Officer for the Supreme Court of the Philippines. On this episode of Power 3.0, Michael joined John K. Glenn and Adam Fivenson from the Forum to discuss the evolution of information manipulation in the Philippines and how democracy activists can respond. Together, they discuss the actors who amplify anti-democratic narratives and share lessons for the response around the globe.

Authoritarian Influence and Local Enablers in the Balkans: A Conversation with Donika Emini
In the Balkans, governing elites who benefit from partnerships with democratic states and participation in the E.U. integration process are, in some cases, simultaneously furthering the autocratic agendas of Russia and China to leverage geopolitics to their advantage. Donika Emini, executive director of the CiviKos Platform and former Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellow, joined John K. Glenn, director of the International Forum for Democratic Studies, to discuss how local enablers amplify authoritarian influence activities in Kosovo and the Western Balkans. Together they provide a framework for understanding the complex nature of local “Kingpins,” and explore how civil society organizations, like CiviKos, can respond to this significant challenge.
