MANILA – After almost 4 months, the Supreme Court has acted on a petition filed by Rappler and some of its journalists questioning the President’s directive preventing them from covering his events.

In a resolution dated July 30 but released to the media only on Wednesday, the SC en banc directed respondent government agencies to comment within 10 days to Rappler’s petition, which also sought to temporarily stop the presidential coverage ban.

In February 2018, Rappler’s Malacañang reporter Pia Ranada was prevented from entering the Palace, its press working area, or any public event where the President is present. Later in April this year, more than 40 journalists and journalism professors led by Florangel Braid, one of the framers of the 1987 Constitution and now President Emeritus of the Asian Institute of Journalism and Communication, filed their petition-in-intervention assailing the ban for being arbitrary and a content-based form of prior restraint.

They are represented by former high court spokesperson Theodore Te, on behalf of the Free Legal Assistance Group.

ACT slams ‘Bato’ for acting on what they call as ‘exploitation’ of parents’ emotional difficultiesA federation of teachers on Tuesday slammed Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa and the Philippine National Police (PNP) for “exploiting” the emotional difficulties of some parents who do not approve of their children’s activism to impose military and police presence in schools. Bakit naman ayaw ng ACT na malantad ang hirap ng loob ng mga magulang? Naku! Sen. Bato, ninu neutralized ka ng mga AntiTruth Is ACT saying that showing concern for one’s children when they are recruited and indoctrinated is irrelevant & unimportant? What about their exploitation of minors who gets corrupted by their leftist propaganda denying them of their freedom to education? Thats abuse right there Go kalang Senator Bato! indi dapat manaig ang kasamaan..
