For more than a decade, I worked as a journalist for a Manila-based media organization upholding press freedom, promoting responsible journalism, and encouraging journalistic excellence. I was a senior staffwriter of the said organization, reporting and writing on the news, developments, and issues that affect press freedom and journalism ethics in the Philippines. I also served as managing editor of that media organization’s flagship publication.
