Raymond Ligaya might not seem like the kind of person one would expect to run a Facebook page that has been flagged by major news organizations around the world for spreading toxic, far-right conspiracies and disinformation.
After all, Ligaya, a twenty-something Instagram influencer and recording artist who has opened for acts like Nelly and Wu Tang Clan, has forged advertising deals with major corporate brands like McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Scotiabank, Manulife, Under Armour, Bell Media Samsung, Hewlett-Packard, Best Buy, Post Cereral as well as Cadbury Chocolates.
