MEMBERS of transport group Manibela allegedly hurt a radio reporter covering their protest action in front of the Land Transportation Franchise and Regulatory Board office in Quezon City amid their ongoing three-day transport strike.
radio reported Val Gonzales said he was reporting the situation in the area where members of Manibela blocked the road in front of the LTFRB office, causing heaving traffic, when at least nine members of the group surrounded him and punched him. The situation was immediately pacified when several members of the media came to rescue Gonzales, who despite the situation, continued reporting live.
said it is determined to hold those responsible for the incident liable to prevent similar incidents from happening again. In a statement, Manibela national chairman Mar Valbuena refuted Gonzales’ claims, but he said Gonzales provoked his members to do what they did. “Ang grupong Manibela ay mariing pinabubulaanan ang pahayag ng
Reporter na si Val Gonzales na umano'y sinuntok o sinapak siya ng aming mga miyembro. Si Gonzales ang naunang nag-provoke sa aming hanay matapos niyang pagsalitaan at murahin ang mga miyembro ng Manibela na dapat umano'y ipakulong ang aming hanay dahil sa abala bago siya umere sa kanilang programa sa
,” he said.“Ang nakita lamang sa kaniyang video report ay ang paligiran diumano siya ng aming mga miyembro, ngunit hindi niya nilantad ang kaniyang mga malisyosong pahayag bago siya umere. Ang mamamahayag ay malaya ngunit huwag sanang isama ang sariling saloobin sa trabahong kibabibilangan upang hindi ito maging bias, maging patas sana tayo sa ating pagbabalita,” he added.
