This International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists, the Union of Journalists of the Philippines – UP joins the call of media organizations in demanding justice for every journalist silenced by violence.
We stand firm in asserting that all media killings must be presumed work-related until proven otherwise. To dismiss them as isolated incidents is to ignore the very conditions that endanger journalists and have long threatened press freedom in the country.
Each unresolved case sustains the climate of impunity that emboldens those who wish to silence the truth. As future journalists, we refuse to accept a system that normalizes these killings or erases the memory of those who were slain in the line of duty.
