Malacañang has assured Philippine media that press freedom is guaranteed and they “won’t change anything” under the Marcos administration.
Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles stated on Friday, Aug. 26, that the government, under the leadership of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., will uphold the rights of journalists in the country. "
Sa isang panayam ng ating state media kahapon, binanggit natin na kinikilala at nirerespeto ng ating pamahalaan sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Pangulong Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr. ang press freedom o ang kalayaan sa pamamahayag ng ating mga kasama sa media (In an interview with our state media yesterday, I mentioned that the government, under the leadership of President Marcos, recognizes and respects press freedom),” Angeles said in a Facebook post. You’re free to talk. We’re not changing anything. Whatever freedom we have now will always be our freedom. Our Constitution guarantees that,” Angeles said.
Upon assuming the presidency, Marcos committed to personally face the media when it comes to pressing issues, thus he did not designate his own spokesperson.
