                    [Summary] => Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. turned over two checks worth P1 million each yesterday for the Press Freedom Fund, increasing his donation to P2.2 million.


Jose Pavia of the Philippine Press Institute, which administers the fund, received one check for P1 million, while Philippine National Police chief Director General Arturo Lomibao received the other check.


De Venecia said the P2 million came from his priority development assistance fund (PDAF), otherwise know as the congressmen’s pork barrel.

She described the killings of journalists as "frightening" and vowed that the government would leave no stone unturned in tracking down the "cold-blooded killers" of media personalities.


In her speech during the launching of the fund at Malacañang, the President said while the killings must immediately be stopped, there should also be efforts to arrest the "growing culture of violence" in the country.
