An Armed Forces of the Philippines and Asian Institute of Journalism and Communication (AIJC) dialogue was held at Grand Astoria Hotel, this city, yesterday (October 17, 2019).
This was attended by the civil military operation and public information officers of the different units under the operational control of Western Mindanao Command and representatives from the AIJC.
The focus of the discussion is the ‘Safeguarding Press Freedom in the Philippines Project’ spearheaded by the AIJC and Copenhagen-based International Media Support (IMS).
Safeguarding Press Freedom in the Philippines is a media development program co-funded by the European Union and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, which aims to safeguard and strengthen Philippine media.
The program will work with the security forces through dialogues and awareness-raising activities on the role of journalism in democracy, rule of law, media laws, and various stakeholders’ roles in protecting journalists and media workers.
