Propaganda statement posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Website (Jul 9, 2021): Tribute to press freedom fighter Nonoy Espina
MARCO VALBUENACHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER
COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE PHILIPPINES
JULY 09, 2021
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) extends profound sympathies to the family, friends and colleagues of Jose Jaime (Nonoy) Espina, son of Negros, and one of the country’s strongest pillars of press freedom. Ka Nonoy passed away last Wednesday.
Ka Nonoy was a journalist of several decades who became known for having courageously opposed state suppression and censorship and fought for the democratic rights and interests of media workers. He stood firmly on the side of the oppressed and exploited masses and helped their advocacies and struggles.
For his commitment, Ka Nonoy earned the ire of those in power and lived a life under threat of being silenced. He would, however, never be muffled, not by Marcos nor by Duterte.
Ka Nonoy’s lifelong dedication to the people and his craft will always be admired and emulated by the younger generation of Filipino journalists and advocates of the Filipino people.
