In a statement sent by the CPM, Czech Republic Chargé d’Affaires Dalibor Mička expressed excitement about a project that would support the rule of law. “And, I am more than confident that this one will support both, and that it will facilitate adherence to freedom of speech and freedom of media in the Philippines,” the diplomat added.
Two other forums on press freedom and democracy will be organized in Dumaguete City and Cagayan De Oro City.
