Whether she wants to run or not, the lady could be a contender for 2016. Getting journalists on her side is a good move.
“Sen. Grace Poe vowed yesterday budgetary support for the installation of a hotline for the protection of journalists who face risks for exposing anomalies,” reports Mario Casayuran in Tempo.
Poe was quoted as saying, “I will support funding for the dedicated media hotline during deliberations for the (proposed) 2015 General Appropriations Act (GAA or national budget) to ensure the program’s institutionalization.”
Poe added that “the Philippine National Police (PNP) should lose no time in establishing this point of contact that will enable our beleaguered journalists to report their predicament and receive timely help.”
