Malacañang Press Corps nanindigan kontra sa panukala ni Mocha Uson
Naglabas ng position paper ang Malacañang Press Corps (MPC) kaugnay sa naging kahilingan ni Presidential Communications Operations Office Asec. Mocha Uson na isailalim sa kanyang tanggapan ang accreditation ng Rappler bilang isang online news source.
Ang nasabing liham ay ipinadala ni Uson na siyang tumatayong pinuno ng social media arm ng PCOO sa tanggapan ni Sec. Martin Andanar.
Sa kanilang tugon, sinabi ng MPC na hindi saklaw ng PCOO ang accreditation ng anumang news organization na nagko-cover sa loob ng Malacañang.
Narito ang inilabas na statement ng Malacañang Press Corps.
As agreed by majority:
Malacañang Press Corps Statement on PCOO Asec for Social Media Esther Margaux Uson’s proposal to expel Rappler from MPC.
The Malacañang Press Corps (MPC) is an independent organization of journalists from various news organizations assigned to regularly cover the Philippine President and Malacañang events.
The MPC and its affairs, governed by by-laws in accordance with the constitutional provision on press freedom, is not in any way under the control and supervision of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) or any government agency.
The MPC deplores any attempt to curtail press freedom and will continue to ensure a strong free press, keep public informed and the government in check.
