Philippines: Press Freedom demonstration by Richard James M. Mendoza
Demonstration to defend press freedom on Friday, 19 January 2018 in Manila, Philippines. The Philippine government's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in a decision on 11 January 2018, revoked the registration of online media portal Rappler due to alleged violations of the Constitution in relation to ownership of mass media entities. Critics have called the move a curtailment of press freedom, alleging that President Duterte had a hand in the SEC decision.
