𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 | Vice Chairperson of the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) - Metro Manila Ms. Martha Teodoro takes the center stage for a discussion titled, "Navigating Gendered Risk: Combating Disinformation and Ensuring Women's Safety in the Media."

Teodoro shared the importance of media safety, sharing her own experience in the field. She emphasized that media safety training would protect journalists during high-risk coverages.

𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗢𝗪 | Esteemed veteran and award-winning journalist Ms. Inday Espina-Varona graces the event with a discussion on the experiences of Filipino women journalists.

Varona shared her experiences as a women journalist from the Martial Law regime until becoming part of both Rappler and ABS-CBN's Bayan Mo, Ipatrol Mo.

For Varona, women journalists in the country continue to face threats, especially during the Marcos-Duterte conflict, and we should expect that the journalism field will become "rock and roll" in the future.
