In the news this evening: a battallion of Philippine marines hole up in their Fort Bonifacio headquarters to protest the relief of their commandant.
Meanwhile, in Malacañang, presidential chief of staff Mike Defensor urges media not to "provide exposure" to the dissidents in what's brewing to be a standoff in Fort Bonifacio.
Hello? Hey, Mike, there's such a thing as press freedom -- specifically, the right against prior restraint. Or is even that not allowed anymore during the de-facto martial law, er, "state of emergency"?
