Is it safe to use $_POST for this?

I have a button that uses $_POST to send information to another page.  The data is in a hidden input so it's not possible for users to change information.  I have nothing to check if the data is correct on the other page.  Is it still possible for people to change the $_POST data though?  Or somehow send false $_POST data to the other page?

even hidden fields can be changed, hidden is just a visual effect.
