Bago pa man ang pandemya, hindi isang mahigpit na utos sa mga pampublikong paaralan ang pagsusuot ng uniporme ng mga mag-aaral (DepEd Order No. 065, s. 2010) upang maiwasan ang pagkakaroon ng karagdagang gastos sa kanilang mga pamilya. Habang ipinagbabawal ang face-to-face classes, ang mga mag-aaral ay hinihikayat na magsuot ng kanilang pinaka-komportable at naaangkop na pananamit habang natututo nang ligtas sa kanilang mga tahanan.

According to a Palace official, Duterte Administration continues to respect the speech and press freedom, adding that President Duterte does not file any libel cases against the critics.

Following the closure of television network ABC-CBN due to not being granted a new franchise last month, Presidential spokesman Harry Roque downplayed the one-month-old results of the Social Weather Station (SWS) survey on the public’s assertion that there is a danger posed by printing or broadcasting anything critical of the administration.

Malacañang refers to the National Mobile Phone Survey showing half of Filipino adults agreed with the statement “It is dangerous to print or broadcast anything critical of the administration, even if it is the truth.”

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque assured public that President Duterte does not disregarding the constitutionally-backed press and speech freedom across the country.

“Be that as it may, the Duterte administration continues to respect the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press in the country. No single libel case has been filed by President Duterte against the political opposition. Media remains alert and vibrant in their reportage of the government and the actions of officials,” he said.

He said that the respondents could have been affected by developments at the time survey was answered - in which few days the House of Representatives voted for franchise renewal of the network.

“Information and news dominating the traditional and social media are therefore about the congressional hearings on the broadcast franchise application of the network. This might have impressed upon the minds of the respondents who participated in the survey,” he said.

He noted that SWS conducted the survey last July 3 to 6, a week before the lower chamber voted for franchise last July 10.

At that time, there was intense lobbying for Congress to approve the TV network’s franchise application, but to no avail.
