                    [Title] => Estrada: RP press always abusive
                    [Summary] => SINGAPORE (via PLDT) — Better an abusive press than a gagged one. President Estrada said the exuberant press in the Phi-lippines was the best proof that he was following the laws of the land.


"In the Philippines, we prefer an abusive press rather than a curtailed press. That’s why our press is always abusive," the President said with a grin during a meeting late Thursday with businessmen here.

Mr. Estrada expressed this view when Foreign Secretary Domingo Siazon Jr. was asked about media behavior in the country.
