Bulatlat has condemned this move as prior restraint against protected speech, adding that this is based on hearsay of National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon Jr.
“No matter who is in power, we have remained fearless in our truth-telling. We will continue our work while we also consider all legal remedies available to question, and stop yet another state-sponsored repression."
“As lawmakers, it is our duty to ensure that public funds are used judiciously for the benefit of the people, and not used to violate their civil and political rights enshrined in our Constitution.”
"That this is being produced amid a repressive regime makes it even more relevant as the media continue to be under attack from those who should protect and uphold press freedom and other basic freedoms."
“May we point out that the responsibility of the PCOO nor the PIA is government communication and information dissemination, not media accreditation and, certainly, not regulation.”

While we have every reason to celebrate this occasion, it is important to point out that the conditions that we set out to chronicle a decade ago that were, in fact, our raison d'être -- economic backwardness, human-rights abuses, landlessness, political persecution, corruption, to name a few -- still persist. That said, here's to the next 10 years -- and beyond!

Tunay na malaki ang gawain para ang karapatang pantao ay maging bahagi ng panlipunang kamulatan. Idagdag pa rito ang madalas na pagkakasangkot ng militar, paramilitary na grupo, maging ang war lords, sa paglabag ng karapatang pantao. Ang ibig sabihin nito, kahit pa show window ng isang demokratikong bansa ang pagpapatupad sa karapatang pantao, mismong ang mga koersibong aparato ng estado ang gumagamit sa karahasan—kasama ang paglabag sa karapatang pantao—para sa pagtataguyod ng tradisyonal na politikang sistema ng bansa, na ang epekto, ay nagtataguyod ng global na sistema ng kapitalismo.
