MANILA— The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) denounced the latest attacks on journalists, saying that the pandemic has failed to slow the efforts of silencing the media.
On the evening of September 14, Jobert “Polpog” Bercasio, a journalist for an online news page, was gunned down by two men riding a motorcycle. Bercasio’s case, if proven to be related to his work as a media practitioner, would be the 17th journalist killed during the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte.
