Students staged a rally in front of the University of Mindanao campus on Bolton Street to protest the implementation of the Human Security Act, which, they said, would impinge on democratic rights. The law, which will take effect on July 15, allows the formation of an “inter-school coordinating body” that, according to the students, would suppress student councils and student publications.

    yes, it is right!!! the journalist will be supressed because of this law…
    in our constitution, stated in there that, there’s a freedom of expression.then, how can you practice this? because of that law you were afraid to tell your comment of what you have seen in our government…specially on what was real happening in it..coz you will be inprisoned if you’ll be against the government…..
