Designating media killing as war crime must be
studied thoroughly the Palace said underscoring it has not changed its resolve
in protecting journalists.
“Sa pagiging ‘war crime' ng media killing...ay kailangan po sigurong isailalim pa ito sa masusing pag-aaral,” Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr said.
Coloma reiterated that the Aquino government adheres to the principle of recognizing press freedom and will do everything to ensure the safety of journalists in doing their jobs.
The Palace official condemns all attacks against media practitioners acknowledging the importance of the life of every individual.
“Mahalaga po ang buhay ng bawat mamamahayag at nais pong magbigay ng proteksyon ang ating pamahalaan sa paggamit ng kalayaan ng pamamahayag,” he said.
And whenever an attack is committed against media men, Coloma said the government will swiftly respond to it to ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice.
