CCPC asks Congress to scrap 'media' from witnesses to inventory of seized illegal drugs

SunStar Publishing Inc.

THE Cebu Citizens-Press Council has long stood for removal of 'media' from the list in the law that requires witnesses to the inventory of illegal drugs confiscated in a police operation. The practice carries risk to the safety of journalists and being isolated, for those who shun signing inventories, from their police sources.

Deletion of 'media' from the list of inventory signatories, per the proposed amendment, has made the above additional proposal unnecessary. Imbedding or joining of reporters may well be left solely to police plans and rules for a police operation and willingness of the news organization or individual reporter to join and take the risk of a police raid or encounter. Most news organizations and journalists may be content with getting and reviewing the details after the fact.
