Philippine press freedom ranking slides down on 3rd year
MANILA – The Philippines’ ranking dropped once again at the 2021 World Press Freedom Index compiled by international media organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines echoed the findings of RSF saying, “[We are] not at all surprised that the country consistently slid down lower in the World Press Freedom Index for the past three years,” said the national directorate in a statement.
The index evaluates the press freedom situation in 180 countries and territories annually, and takes into account “people’s access to information and the obstacles to news coverage.”

De Lima tells youth: Exert concerted effort against the Anti-Terror Law
Opposition Senator Leila M. de Lima has urged the youth to work together to push for the declaration of the unconstitutionality of the Anti-Terrorism Law which opened a floodgate for abuses because of its vagueness.
In her message for the Group of Achievers, Brave and Active Youth s (GABAY) webinar dubbed Understanding the New Law: Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 last April 9, De Lima said the Anti-Terror Act must not be allowed to continue to exist in a country where the Filipinos forefathers have fought and died for democracy. You are the future of this country on whose shoulders bear the weight of the consequences of the decisions made by a government that thrived on failure, abuse and oppression, she said.
