We call on the Marcos camp and his supporters to be more transparent, to stop harassing journalists, and to respect the media’s role in a free society
MANILA, Philippines – Barbarism has no place in any democratic exercise such as campaign sorties of a candidate seeking the highest position of the land.
We protest and condemn in the strongest possible terms the unspeakable behavior of Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s male security personnel and media relations officer Krizza Mendizabal on Wednesday, April 13.In an incident recorded on video, at around 7:17 pm on April 13, Marcos security personnel surrounded and blocked Ms. Buan from approaching him for an ambush interview after the rally and after he had greeted his supporters during his campaign sortie at IBP Road, Quezon City.
Coincidentally, as the Marcos rally had started, Ms. Buan was subjected to online harassment as well. Just hours before the physical harassment, at 4:17 pm, Twitter user @shiningtwicexo red-tagged Ms. Buan as “one of the high-ranking officials of the CPP-NPA-NDF” due to her membership in the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines , where she is a director. The tweet went inaccessible an hour later. Like Rappler, the NUJP has denounced the red-tagging of Ms.
Journalists cover in the toughest and roughest of situations because they need to keep the public they serve well informed. Marcos campaign spokespersons Vic Rodriguez and Benhur Abalos have not been physically present in the campaign sorties, making it doubly difficult for journalists to get official word or responses to their questions.
