[Statement] Malacañang’s new matrix a ‘piece of unadulterated crap’

May 8, 2019

The NUJP refuses to dignify such a piece of unadulterated crap as the new “matrix” presented by Sal Panelo apparently expands on the earlier oust-Duterte canard and now purports to link more people and groups like us to Rodel Jayme.

At best, this is yet another badly concocted fiction meant to scare their perceived enemies but which only ends up making them look ridiculous. At worst, and this is a real concern, we cannot imagine what pressures Jayme might have undergone or be made to undergo to underpin this fallacy.

And we stress again this government’s criminal endangerment of people it accuses of serious offenses without an iota of evidence.

But we say let them try their worst. They cannot scare the community of independent Filipino journalists into silence.
