Press Release May 3, 2007 KIKO ON THE DROPPING OF LIBEL CASES BY FG ARROYO "We welcome the decision of First Gentleman Mike Arroyo to drop all libel cases filed against journalists. This is a victory for press freedom and should be lauded. The turnaround is a welcome development for the cause of democracy. We would like to extend our full support for this move. The gesture sends the signal that the Arroyo government has softened up on those in the media critical of the administration and the first family. It is a good sign and we welcome it. We also wish the first gentleman full and speedy recovery." |
