Former Interior and Tourism Secretary Rafael Alunan III has urged the Presidential Communications Office to punish the journalists who reported that President Rodrigo Duterte publicly insulted President Barack Obama.
Through his Facebook post, he stated that the journalists should be punished and should be blacklisted.
“The media that went to town saying that Du30 insulted Pres BHO should be singled out and sanctioned for malice and placing the country’s diplomatic relations with the U.S. at risk,” Alunan said.
“The freedom of press is not the freedom to destroy,” He stated on his post
He also grabbed the chance to tell the senior officials to “undergo a seminar on how to deal with the press, and how press cons and interviews should be managed or handles.”
He believes that those who tried to ruin the President’s reputation by reporting about Duterte’s comments against Obama deserve appropriate action that could teach them life lessons.
