NPC reminds NAIA chief:

Restriction to airport reporters violates liberty of the press The National Press Club reminds Ninoy Aquino In­ternational Airport (NAIA) chief, Angel Honrado, that it is a violation of the fundamental right to press freedom if he will restrict accredited reporters to the NAIA lobby areas only.

Acts like this violate not only Section 4, Article 3 of the Constitution that says “no law shall be passed abridging the freedom of expression, of speech, and of the press.” 

The acts of restricting reporters to the lobby area also violate Article 32 of the Civil Code of the Philippines giving right to award for damages for persons whose rights to press freedom is violated by any person.

Mr. Honrado must know that the right to press freedom begins from the gathering of information.  If the gathering of information is prohibited, any journalist will have nothing to write that his right to express and write articles to be published is therefore effectively curtailed.

For this, the NPC hereby quotes in toto the pertinent law:

“Art. 32. Any public officer or employee, or any private individual, who directly or indirectly obstructs, defeats, violates or in any manner impedes or impairs any of the following rights and liberties of another person shall be liable to the latter for damages:

“(2)  Freedom of speech;

“(3)  Freedom to write for the press or to maintain a periodical publication;

“In any of the cases referred to in this article, whether or not the defendant’s act or omission constitutes a criminal offense, the aggrieved party has a right to commence an entirely separate and distinct civil action for damages, and for other relief. Such civil action shall proceed independently of any criminal prosecution (if the latter be instituted), and mat be proved by a preponderance of evidence.

“The indemnity shall include moral damages. Exemplary damages may also be adjudicated.

“The responsibility herein set forth is not demandable from a judge unless his act or omission constitutes a violation of the Penal Code or other penal statute.”

The NPC therefore hopes Mr. Honrado to learn from this curve.

Si Honrado at ang media

‘May tampo ba si Honrado sa media sa NAIA?’ Tanong ng kuwagong escort ng mga baril.

‘Sa palagay ng mga kuwago ng ORA MISMO, mayroon ‘sabi ng kuwagong nahulihan ng boga.

‘Ano iyon?’ Tanong ng kuwagong may bitbit ng baril.

‘Pa kuento mo sa kanya kung ano ang nangyari noon panahon ng mahulihan ng baril si Nueva Ecija Rep. Junior de Guzman ng dumating ito sa NAIA galing US of A’, sabi ng kuwagong smuggler ng baril.

‘Bakit alam ba niya nangyari at nandoon ba siya ng mga oras na ‘yon? ’‘yes!’

Teka, ano ang konek kay Ka Junior ni Honrado?

Kamote ipakuento mo nga sa kanya. Kung ano talaga ang totoong nangyari. Kung nasaan siya ng mga oras na iyon.

Ito ba ang dahilan kung bakit nag-walk ang majority sa NAIA media noon nagpa-christmas party ito para sa mga reporter.

Basta ipakuento mo sa kanya.

Tapos!
