97. Raymund Villanueva on state repression of journalists in the Philippines

On the 97th edition of Free City Radio we hear from Raymund Villanueva in Manila, who has been deeply involved in the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines and speaks on state repression of journalists in the Philippines today, under President Rodrigo Duterte. Raymund shares some political context on the growing normalization of state violence as political policy, that has expanded within the context of a declared populist "war on drugs" in the country. A deadly reality for journalists today in the Philippines that has worked to normalize police, military and paramilitary killings. This political cultural of violence, that has been normalized under Duterte, has created the context for expanding repression, on the part of paramilitary forces connected to the state, that has been directed at progressive independent media workers in the country, including many members of the National Union of Journalists in the Philippines. Raymund works on the website https://bulatlat.com, one of the first progressive online journals in the country and is a colleague of Maria Ressa, the Filipina journalist who co-won the 2021 Nobel Prize. On this edition we hear music from DJ Krush. Free City Radio is produced twice a week by Stefan @spirodon Christoff.
