If you are a local you should know that CNN is a liberal press and but they are also trying to be neutral (which we appreciate). Inquirer is notoriously anti-government and manilatimes is neutral.
The point is that journalists should report facts and not be partisan. The quality of Pulitzer Prize winners were put into question when the story that they wrote were not backed up by evidence as to what the manilatimes article pointed out. A couple of police sources doesn't make up the entire police force.
And about Rappler, our consitution says that media should be 100% Filipino owned. Rappler received funding from a foreign company, Omidyar Network, and allowed them to have control of corporate matters. This is a red flag that is why SEC did an investigation. It is really that simple. No need to politicize it.
"Responsible journalism also means complying with the law," said NPC President Paul Gutierrez in a statement released Tuesday. "To say that the fate of one media entity found to have run afoul with the law translates to media repression in the country is stretching the argument a bit too much."
"The SEC finding is quite clear: that Rappler Inc., has indeed violated the law when it allowed the entry of foreign investors and also allowed, specifically, Omidyar Network Fund LLC, to have control on 'corporate matters' of Rappler based on its own submissions to the SEC"

Read about how the former President Aquino and his Liberal Party cohorts who approved the UNTESTED dengue vaccine, DengVaxia!!! It was discovered recently when Sanofi Pasteur declared it as unsafe. Now because of the stupidity of those people 700K+ kids will pay the price because of their greed?! How many already died up-to-date?!
To defend the people is one of the basic duty of all police here and abroad so what's wrong with that? That's the message of the first article that you linked.
Of course he will congratulate his men about putting their lives on the line for you and others. Plus of course his usual rhetoric (did you take that seriously?)
We all want those policemen found guilty of crimes to be in jail. But did you ever think of who will replace them? You want the military to uphold the law just like back in the martial law days in the 80's? We have a deteriorating police force for a very long time but thanks to Duterte there are a lot of new recruits today. I see them training every day on my way to work.

"But before Duterte took office, as president-elect, he sent a chilling message to a press corps ready to report on his presidency: "Just because you're a journalist, you're not exempted from assassination, if you are a son of a bitch," he said casually at a press conference. "Free speech won't save you, my dear."
>> The problem is when a foreign journalist, like Gianna Toboni, writes something she know little about so let me give you a little more background about that statement. What Duterte said that "you're not exempted from assassination, if you are a son of a bitch" was NOT a threat but a FACT. It is a FACT that decades before the Duterte presidency journalists here were being killed simply because journalists (FACT) here can be paid and used for black propaganda by politicians. We know what he was talking about.
