A dialogue with the ambassador
Ambassador of the United Kingdom Daniel Pruce invited members of the media for an elegant reception at his residence in Makati City. The event was a significant gather- ing between journalists, writers, and members of the free press in order to discuss the importance of media freedom in the age of fake news and propaganda. The ambassador started his speech by greeting everyone in fluent Tagalog and even quoted the late great Sir Winston Churchill, saying, “A free press is the unsleeping guardian of every other right that free men prize; it is the most dangerous foe of tyranny.” Thank you to Ambassador Daniel Pruce and his team at the British Embassy Manila for a most inspiring evening!
