"The Philippines under former President Duterte was the worst I’ve seen. Worse than under former President Ferdinand Marcos. People were saying Marcos was the worst president because of martial law. He closed down the media, abolished Congress, and ruled by decree.

"I think more than 3000 people died, and 10,000 were tortured and jailed.

"But in three to six years under Duterte, more than 30,000 people died. No, he didn’t impose martial law, but there was a de facto martial law. The anti-terrorism law was very harsh, and he closed down ABS-CBN television." - Political and investigative journalist Manny Mogato Whānau Community Centre & Hub Nik Naidu Del Abcede Pacific Journalism Review - APMN Wansolwara John M Miller IFJ - International Federation of Journalists Nehru Ski Joseph M Fernandez

Flashback to my 'Don't Spoil My Beautiful Face: Media, Mayhem and Human Rights in the Pacific' - a sequel to 'Blood on their Banner'. A decade on from the first edition, it has stood the test of time. Endorsed by the late investigative journalist John Pilger with a foreword by the doyen of Pacific journalism Kalafi Moala, it covers many wide-ranging issues and struggles, including Bougainville, climate crisis, colonial legacy conflicts, disinformation, Kanaky, Philippines, Timor-Leste, West Papua, and the Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific (NFIP) movement.

As Professor Pradip Thomas wrote in a review in Media International Australia (MIA):

"The volatility in the region shapes all enterprises including the practice of journalism and David’s account clearly reveals the consequences of this continuing uncertainty on both the practice of journalism and journalism education in the region.

"This is an important addition to the literature on the media in the Pacific. Investigative journalism at its best, uncovering the lapses of failed states, distant empires and domestic politics." - Little Island Press Ltd https://press.littleisland.nz/books/dont-spoil-my-beautiful-face

Facebook has become a joke - I have just had a Pacific Journalism Review editorial removed by FB for breaching "Community Standards on spam". I have objected, of course, so we'll see what happens.
