Progressive media groups, campus press, human rights organizations, and advocates are calling for the immediate release of community journalist Frenchie Mae Cumpio and her fellow detainees in Tacloban 5, including Marielle Domequil and Alexander Abinguna, who have been held since February 2020 on charges of terrorism financing and illegal possession of fi****ms and explosives—alleged charges that supporters claim are based on fabricated evidence.

On November 11, Cumpio testified for the first time in Tacloban to challenge the allegations against them, while a protest at the Department of Justice in Manila demanded justice for all members of the Tacloban 5.

Supporters argue that the case of the Tacloban 5 highlights the misuse of the Anti-Terror Act and Terrorism Financing Act against journalists, activists, and government critics, calling for the repeal of these laws, which they believe are being used to suppress press freedom and dissent.
