MALAYBALAY CITY — In a commentary published on February 28 by MindaNews, Paul Mart Jeyand J. Matangcas, who describes himself as a freelance journalist, presents a critique of how Philippine media has performed in the field of environmental journalism. He tries to highlight its supposed shortcomings — or perhaps, defects — vis-a-vis his insights from a training in Kenya.
In addition, Matangcas surmises that by focusing on the struggles of indigenous peoples, Philippine media is reducing them “to mere portraits of poverty who need saving.” The crux of his argument is that the indigenous peoples are not finding enough space inside news rooms.“As journalists, our work is anchored on facts, especially at a time of massive disinformation in public and digital spaces.
The first question that comes to mind is this: How can a journalist who reports about the plight of indigenous peoples — in effect, enabling them to articulate their problems and sentiments — be accused of stifling their voice at the same time? As far as I can recall, Philippine media has amply expounded on issues affecting indigenous communities such as the Kaliwa Dam project, mining, and attendant human rights abuses.
