Duterte blasts media organizations for 'unfair, twisted' coverage
MANILA, Philippines (Updated 8:03 p.m.) — President Rodrigo Duterte gave an expletive-laden
speech against two Philippine media organizations on Thursday as he blasted their alleged
propensity to lie and distort his statements.
The president’s remarks at the oath-taking of newly-appointed government officials and members of
Philippine Councilors’ League are his latest against some media organizations he perceived to be
unfair in their coverage of his administration.
Duterte used as example the coverage of a newspaper and a television station of some of his
pronouncements on the government’s war on drugs and during his presidential campaign last year.
He accused a newspaper of twisting and cherry-picking his words to make his war on drugs seem like
a war on the poor.
“Alam mo kung maniwala kayo diyan sa mga [media], maraming ano diyan virulent ang ano... Lalo na
yung mga istasyon...lalo yung ABS (ABS-CBN), Inquirer, natalo yung kandidato nila,” the president
said.
“They become really vicious and virulent. Ganun yan. Mabasa, makita mo naman talagang tinitwist
nila. Yung slant na slant. Sinasadya nila. They do not complete the sentence. They zero in on the
adjective or kung however you describe the situation.”
ily said, “Tingnan mo yung Inquirer. Ang sinasabi ko sila ang may sabi na pinapatay ko raw ang
mahihirap. Alam mo ang Inquirer kahapon, talagang ... Basura talaga yan pati yung eleksyon. ‘The
poor will be killed.’ Tingnan mo kung mag-slant.”
The president accused the media corporations of portraying him negatively because their preferred
candidate in last year’s election lost.
“Galit sila kapag natalo yung kandidato nila. Hindi ko na lang pinapakinggan, hindi ko na lang binabasa.
Except, of course, yung factual news kung ano nangyari tong araw na ito, pero itong mga opinion na araw na
ito they have a lot of ass talaga as in ass,” he said.
The president has been known to make remarks that are later on clarified and explained by his
spokespersons and subordinates. The administration has also taken to blaming media for reports that do not
portray it in a good light.
Before the president's speech on Thursday, presidential spokesman Ernesto Abella accused the New York
Times of being part of a "well-funded campaign" to discredit Duterte.
Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar, who has since been tasked with administrative
work, has also locked horns with reporters in the past.
He previously alluded to Duterte critics bribing journalists covering the Senate to attend a press conference
where retired policeman Arthur Lascañas claimed to be a member of the supposed Davao Death Squad
vigilante group. Andanar later claimed he did not accuse the Senate media of accepting bribes.
In January, Andanar also accused reporters covering Duterte of misquoting the president's remarks on
martial law. This prompted a protest from the Malacañang Press Corps.
"The media has no obligation to please or satisfy its sources because its loyalty is to the citizens, those who
will be affected by the actions of people who are far more powerful than them," the group said in a
statement.
