MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines slipped by six notches at this year’s World Press Freedom Index.
This was revealed by Reporters Without Borders or Reporters Sans Frontières (RSF,) an international media watchdog that promotes and defends freedom of the press.
From 127th out of 180 countries, the Philippines is now 133rd on the list with a score of 42.53.
According to the group, the Philippines is one of the most “dangerous” places for journalists in Asia following the killing of four mediamen in 2017.
Nordic country Norway remains the safest place for journalists while isolated North Korea remains the most dangerous. – UNTV News and Rescue
