Ipinagdiriwang natin ngayong araw, ika-31 ng Agosto, ang Araw ng mga Bayani.

Nawa’y isapuso natin ang paglilingkod at sakripisyo na kanilang inalay sa ating kasaysayan, na siyang dahilan ng ating kalayaan at kasarinlan.

FOCAP led by Journalism Alumnus hosts press meet with President Marcos

By Joshua Emmanuel E. Camacho

The Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines (FOCAP) hosted President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. during its Presidential Luncheon on Aug. 14 at the Manila Diamond Hotel.

The President addressed questions on tensions in the West Philippine Sea, the Philippines’ participation in Pax Silica, flood control corruption, and Vice President Sara Duterte’s potential presidential bid.

FOCAP President and University of Santo Tomas (UST) Journalism alumnus Cliff Venzon led the event, joined by fellow UST alumni Karen Lema of Communication Arts and Jes Asnar of Fine Arts.

Marcos addressed concerns over a possible U.S. military response should China invade Taiwan.

“There won’t be any attacks from anyone from the Philippines… All we are concerned with is the defense of our territory, and the maintenance of peace and stability in the region. That is all the Philippines is concerned with,” Marcos said.

He also discussed the administration’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign, particularly in response to issues surrounding government flood control projects.

“Progress on the anti-corruption measures that we are taking continues, and will continue, and hopefully continue until we have changed the way we think, the way we do business, the way we feel [about] all government officials… all the attached contractors, groups, agencies, etcetera… and how [Filipinos] view this kind of activity, that it is, in fact, wrongdoing, and it will not be tolerated,” he said.

Aside from Venzon, UST alumni serving on the FOCAP Board of Trustees include Karen Lema of Reuters and freelance photojournalist Jes Aznar. Completing the FOCAP board are Mara Cepeda of The Straits Times, Barnaby Lo of Al Jazeera English, Chantal Eco of Deutsche Welle, and Ara Eugenio of Agence France-Presse.

Gracing the press luncheon and conference were Asst. Prof. Joselito B. Zulueta and Asst. Prof. Felipe F. Salvosa II, to represent the UST Department of Journalism and express their support for Venzon and fellow Thomasian foreign correspondents.
