Stand Point

The National Union of Journalists decries the increasing incidence of what can only be described as targeted attacks on members of the critical media.

Bishop Alminaza: "Martial Law is neither the answer to the centuries-old agrarian problem nor to the decades of armed rebellion. Martial rule during the Marcos era did not lead to genuine peace; instead, it worsened the insurgency problem."

We in the alternative media denounce the unlawful arrest of Margarita Valle, veteran Mindanao-based journalist and a columnist of Davao Today.

As we condemn the arrest of Valle, we also call on the government to review its guidelines on serving arrest warrants and searches. Mistakes, such as what had happened to Valle may happen again and subject anyone to human rights violations.

Bobi Tiglao used to understand that. And used to think it was a good thing.
