Rodrigo Duterte, and his administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Culture of entitlement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the NPC said that reporters, for their part, should also avoid having a \u201cculture of entitlement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJournalists, like public officials they often criticized, should not be onion-skinned nor be possessed with the culture of entitlement. We sometimes deserve the treatment we get by the way we comport ourselves. Tit for tat,\u201d the NPC said.<\/p>\n<p>The NPC, meanwhile, welcomed the effort exerted by Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque assuring Ranada that she may still cover the Palace pending Rappler\u2019s appeal to stop the implementation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) decision to shut them down.<\/p>\n<p>It downplayed how Ranada was briefly barred from entering the Palace noting that it was \u201ca simple case of misunderstanding.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy advair rotahaler online <a href=\"https:\/\/jayhawkfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/jpg\/advair-rotahaler.html\">https:\/\/jayhawkfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/jpg\/advair-rotahaler.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The SEC ordered the closure of Rappler last month claiming it violated the Constitution\u2019s restriction on foreign ownership of local media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe personal effort exerted by Presidential Spokesperson, Atty Harry Roque, and the assurance that he gave early today, before members of the Malacanang Press Corps (MPC) that include Ms. Ranada, is the right step to put a closure in what appears to be a simple case of misunderstanding&#8211; but which some quarters now appear hellbent in blowing out of proportion,\u201d the NPC said.<\/p>\n<p>Although Roque said that Ranada was allowed to cover Malaca\u00f1ang, Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, however, said that Rappler should settle its ownership issue at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) first before its reporters are allowed to cover Malaca\u00f1ang.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy rybelsus online <a href=\"https:\/\/jayhawkfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/jpg\/rybelsus.html\">https:\/\/jayhawkfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/jpg\/rybelsus.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Ayusin muna nila ang kanilang<\/em>\u00a0(They should fix their) personality as a corporation local corporation otherwise they cannot (cover),\u201d Medialdea told reporters in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Rappler released a statement in response to the accusation of Special Assistant to the President Christopher \u201cBong\u201d Go that it was peddling fake news.<\/p>\n<p>Rappler earlier released a report on Go\u2019s alleged intervention on the PHP18-billion Frigate Acquisition Project (FAP) of the Philippine Navy.<\/p>\n<p>Medialdea said that because the SEC decided to revoke Rappler\u2019s license, it also meant that Ranada has immediately lost her accreditation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0&#8212; The National Press Club (NPC) has expressed doubt that it was President Rodrigo R.
