NUJP hits unfair treatment of media

DAVAO CITY: Mediamen based in this city have blasted members of the Malacañang’s Media Accreditations and Relations Office (MARO) who reportedly refused them entry to cover the Bangsamoro forum where President Benigno Aquino 3rd was main speaker last Thursday at the SMX Convention Center in Lanang, Davao City.

In a statement, National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP)- Davao City chapter said at least 20 local journalists were denied entry to the venue purportedly because “there were too many journalists covering the event already.”
