"It is an affront to the Philippines’ freedom of speech that libel remains a criminal offense," said Christopher Warren, president of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ).

Warren’s statement came after an editor spent the night in a police station, and along with four other media workers, was forced to post more than P10,000 over a P10 million libel suit.
