The Presidential Task Force on Media Security (PTFoMS) was hailed by media workers themselves and family members of victims, citing the task force’s moves to seek justice for the victims.

Virgilio Maganes, a columnist of Pangasinan-based Northern Watch and commentator of dwPR Radyo Asenso, thanked PTFoMS for its prompt action on his case that resulted in the arrest of a suspect behind his botched assassination on November 8, 2016.
