JOURNALISTS’ ROLE IN UPHOLDING PUBLIC TRUST
With midterm elections fast approaching, Professor Rachel E. Khan’s talk, “Information as a Tool for Citizens’ Trust and Participation in the Policy Process,” delivered in late 2024 at the Senate of the Philippines under the Development Academy of the Philippines’ Capacity Building on Innovative Leadership for Legislative Staff (CBILLS) Program, provides valuable insights that are especially important for me as a journalist for Diyaryo Pinoy and other publications.

For decades, this group, named after its late leader Joel Cecilio O. Jose (alias Sendong), instilled fear through a series of atrocities that disrupted communities, crippled development, and left an indelible scar on the region.
