MANILA, Philippines – The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) criticized Vice President Sara Duterte on Sunday, August 2, over remarks she made on July 30 and released by her office a day later, saying she denigrated Philippine news organizations and promoted social media as an alternative.
Duterte said Philippine news organizations fell short of international standards and accused them of “worshipping money.”
