RACHEL A.G. REYES

“THERE are three kinds of journalists in this country,” said Rodrigo Duterte at a press conference in Davao City on June 2, 2016.“Those who are the crusaders, telling the truth, baring it all before the public…Sometimes they hit those who cannot tolerate the truth being exposed to the public…And they do not accept money.” The man is just warming up. But we can sense a diatribe is coming. The president-elect knows his audience is a captive one, and will hang on his every word.
