"There is strength in numbers, from a very personal, individual level, if we think that we have no one else to turn to, or no one is with us in these various issues, then we would really feel isolated," said Palabay. This also came following the release of a new poll by Social Weather Stations on Friday, which revealed that a majority or 65 percent of Filipinos believe that it is dangerous to publish or broadcast news critical of President Rodrigo Duterte's administration.This is why Palabay said the public should start holding institutions accountable as the 2022 national elections draw nearer.
