“The Presidential Communications Operations Office thanks the Supreme Court for granting the request of the Presidential Task Force on Media Security and other media organizations for the live coverage of the Ampatuan massacre’s promulgation through PTV,” Andanar said in a statement. “As the judgment on this case is of paramount interest to the public and to the media as well, a complete, secure, and truthful coverage of the court decision is imperative. This integrated arrangement will ensure that everyone receives real-time and accurate information as the much-awaited verdict on the infamous event is made,” he said.
The Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 221 is scheduled to issue its verdict on Maguindanao massacre case on Dec. 19.
