Statement of Sen. Aquilino Q. Pimentel, Jr. on court ruling on mediamen
suit re: Peninsula siege
I view with alarm the Makati Regional Trial Court’s ruling on Manila
Peninsula affair that might lead to the suppression of press freedom and the
people’s right to information and ultimately the institution of a police
state.
