Media killings tackled in brief speech

President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to hammer on the need to pass a Freedom of Information (FOI) measure and stopping media killings when he addresses Congress and reports on the state of the nation today.

Palace Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said although the President’s “powerful” speech will not last an hour, it covers a great number of issues, including the need to legislate an FOI law, Andanar said.
