|February 2, 2026
On the 126th anniversary of the Manila Bulletin, President Marcos reaffirmed his commitment to press freedom and respect for editorial independence, which, he said, are vital to the country's democracy.
Marcos stated this as he stressed that the Philippines' maturing democracy requires a free and responsible press.
"As we advance the work of maturing our democracy, we require a press that operates freely and responsibly," Marcos said in his message on Monday, Feb. 2.
"The government affirms its role by safeguarding constitutional guarantees, respecting editorial independence, and strengthening institutions that commit to transparency and accountability," he added.
The President stressed that the role of the press "to sustain a media institution that promotes citizen awareness and elevates public discourse" remains.
