PRESS FREEDOM!

Juvie Garde

It was February 22, the day of our symposium with a theme "The fight for press freedom". With that theme it catches my attention because we all knew that the media nowadays have been the great enemy of our government in a sense that they are willing to sacrifice their own lives just for us to know the truth. We have three guest speakers namely Mr. Rey Legario, who is an anchor of RMN Radio Statiob, Mr. Herminio Legaspi Manager of Rombo Radio Station and Atty. Erlan Deluvio the OIC Regional Director, Comission on Human Rights. This three big names really contributes a lot especially in serving our community. What I really enjoyed in that symposium was the sharing part where in the speakers shares their thoughts and ideas about the freedom of the press, they also sight some of the laws in which it preserves their rights as an individual. One of the speakers cited this from Horace Greeley " Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it" and yes its very true, I can see that she's very eager to stand as a journalist the way she speak and the way she delivers her point of views. We all knew that the journalist was well-known as "watchdog" in which they are strong enough to deliver the truth even though their lives is in danger. For me being a journalist is not only a job but it is a job in which only brave people can do. And as a person we need to respect our journalist just like how we respect ourselves they are humans too, they also have feelings. We need to think critically in order for us not to be played by those politicians, not only for politicians but also to the people that surrounds us.

February 22, 2019 we had a symposium that was Friday morning with a theme “The Fight for Press Freedom Continues”

Nowadays Press or Media is a hottest topic people based on the different latest news articles they see in their social media accounts even in the television and radio, we need to think first before we say because everybody can judges you. I realized that it’s not easy to be a broadcaster or anything that connects in media or press. Freedom of press is a freedom of fear, Freedom of intimidation and Freedom of violence not only for the journalist and for those citizens mean the right to tell the story share opinions and give voice and ideas, no matter how can because journalists involve seeking and telling the truth. One speaker said Journalism will kill you but it will keep you while you’re at it. If you know something speak out let the world hear the truth. Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy.

The theme was "The fight for Press Freedom Continues" and it is all about the freedom of speech to voice out, to fight, and to stand the rights of individual. Journalism is threat by the politicians because they are the one who can speak about the truth.

The recent controversies have come up regarding press freedom. The symposium brought awareness and useful information of what was happening to the Philippines and the journalists affected from recent issues. It brought an alarming thought of how much troubles such as threats journalists face just to speak abut the truth. Because of the existence of journalism, the people has every right to know what is going on. Journalism brings a lot of importance in the Philippines to my eyes because of how controversial the government can be.

     On February 18-22 is an ordinary week for me because as what we are expecting for as usual, we make our research good even I’m very stress in my 14 subject but all of that is useless if I cannot manage my time well and I can handle myself. Memories in making our research even though it so hard in making our research but we trying to make our research better with confidence and with our strength and hearts. But despite of that hardship on February we know that all of my tiredness result good and better future and those teacher who help me I want to say thank you and also I cannot attend to the symposium because I had a class during time day even though I want to attend but it is hard for me to manage my time and it result conflict of schedule.

“You get a one teaching and a related assessment. It is also correlated with my text.”

Freedom of the press is the right to circulate opinions in print without censorship by the government. Americans enjoy freedom of the press under the First Amendment to the Constitution, which states: ‘Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech or of the press.

basically it is the right of the press to critic public officials especially when they can see something wrong . The media personnel contribute a lot that they come to the point that their willingness in sacrificing their lives just to give and spread the truth to uplift justice  for the people who badly needed it. I salute those media men who continuously give the honest and true information  about the current issue that happen in the society. Hence, let us give honor to those press who were killed by those people who are trying to covered the stains in their name just to look decent personnel.
