There are things that Joby gave me.

We focus on stories not usually covered in the mainstream media.
00:30
So we publish stories of farmers, workers, and other marginalized sectors.
00:36
We're very critical of the government.
00:38
That's one of the advocacies of the publication of the organization,
00:43
to be vocal of government abuses, especially on corruption and human rights.
00:49
For a long time, the government has been accusing
00:52
Pinoy Weekly, Bulatlat, and other alternative media outfits
00:57
of being fronts of the communist movement here in the Philippines.

NUJP documented 109 cases of these attacks,
01:25
ranging from surveillance, harassment, verbal threats,
01:31
and arrest and trump up charges.
01:36
It also includes libel and cyber libel,
01:40
and the practice of red-tagging journalists.

I hope, after my visit, the government authorities will look into those cases,
02:22
review the case, and dismiss the charges,
02:25
or bring them to trial rapidly with full due process,
02:29
so that it can be decided whether or not they are guilty.
02:32
And the blocking of websites is a direct form of censorship,
02:36
which requires a high degree of scrutiny.
02:39
I have recommended an executive order denouncing this practice
02:43
and setting out very clear measures that can be taken to discourage,
02:49
disincentivize, and discipline those who violate the policy.
02:54
Policy.
