SunStar Cebu columnist Frank Malilong weighs in on the Right to Reply Bill, asking a simple question:
“Thus, if 15 people are identified in a page one report as accused of complicity in the purchase of decorative lampposts, the replies of all the 15 should also be published in the front page. Can you imagine accommodating the letters of 15 people in the same page at the same time? “

In a radio interview by Bobby Nalzaro of GMA 7 Cebu last Saturday, the anchor asked me a question about my contentious relationship with the media, my blog about Cebu media (www.onion-skinned.com), then segued on to Senate Bill No. 2150, more popularly known as the “Right to Reply Bill”.
I answered that I cannot support the bill, and half-jokingly said that congressmen offended by the media should just have their own blogs.
This came out in SunStar Cebu today.

“The angriest advocates for and against the bill are those that can’t, could no longer, don’t or shouldn’t reproduce.”
