But he also did not comment on the report’s point that Red-tagging, particularly when used with death threats and harassment lawsuits, can directly affect media professionals adversely.ADVERTISEMENT

From the brand trust scores, newspapers Philippine Daily Inquirer, Manila Bulletin, and the Philippine Star all enjoyed a 68 percent trust rate.
