In the process, the same journalist then defends the person originally attacked, for a fee; and
WHEREAS, it is our belief that Mr. Carlo Asturias’ temerity of spewing biased opinion and his personal advocacy to malign, insult and destroy the image and goodwill of the Aklanons, the mainstream media organization of Aklan should improve the enforcement of discipline and self-regulation at industry level;
