Photo from PCOO Global Media AffairsPresidential Communications Operations OfficeOne such audience was press freedom advocate Reporters Without Borders , whose representatives met with Andanar and officials from the Philippine embassy in France on February 18.

During the meeting, the government submitted a report to RSFT detailing the accomplishments of the Duterte administration through the Presidential Task Force on Media Security, including the convictions related to the 2009 Ampatuan Massacre. Andanar called the meeting “fruitful,” adding that his office hopes that it “will iron out concerns about the stance of the government when it comes to media freedom,” according to hisWhat was missing from the countless of press releases and news reports on the meeting was the side of the RSF representatives.

In an email to Rappler, RSF'S Asia Pacific desk head Daniel Bastard recalled that he told Andanar and his delegation that “we can only agree on the fact that we don't agree” after they stood their ground on the widely-documented concerns about how the Duterte administration treats media in the Philippines.

No matter how hard you try to sink shit, it will always find its way back to the surface.

Paki explain nga po sa simpleng salita Ang ibig bang sabihin hindi tinaggap ang report nila kasi purokasinungalingan lng ang laman?

So millions of taxpayers money is wasted again ...., business class seats, 5 star hotel, meal and transpo allowance tapos magkakalat lang ng lies and stupidity si Andanar and Company sa Europe. Anong akala nyo parang DDS na stupid and gullible ang kausap nyo. Isuka ang baguette
