Thursday morning, a group of activists trooped to the NPC Building in Intramuros to air their grievances. We opened up our gates, welcomed them with open arms and hearts. As the bastion of press freedom and freedom of expression, the NPC encourages all who may have more grievances to air to please come over and do so.
For decades, the NPC had been ignored by the free masses it sworn to protect and whose rights the Club swore to uphold. We longed for you. We have long dreamt of the time when your voices will again resonate around and on every corner of the NPC. The NPC was made for that purpose and with the issues at hand, we can declare that democracy is alive!
For so long, the NPC has been an empty space reserved only for journalists. Help us fulfill our dream of making it serve its rightful purpose. To be the voice of the people and sanctuary of history’s talekeepers. We welcome you and beg you to please come over and express your rights for it would be a dream come true for the NPC. With open arms and brotherly love, we will join you.
For the NPC to serve its noble purpose, we must unite and share our ideals about freedom. Let us preserve the NPC as a venue where we can all express ourselves, regardless of our leanings or inclinations. And for God’s sake help us preserve its hallowed grounds. Let us stand fast and declare that no one, nothing, not even the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) could take away this revered venue of freedom of expression. We can never afford to lose this God-given possession that our forefathers fought for. We cannot let their dreams and aspirations die out once the NPC is taken away from its real owner- the Filipino people and all freedom-loving citizens of the world.
We hungered for your return, our dear fellow Filipinos. We craved to hear your minds and read your hearts once again. Help us fight for this bastion of freedom. Help us in the fight against those who eagered to take and break it and those who threaten to evict the very souls of press freedom fighters whose names are written with their own sweat and blood in the four walls of the NPC.
Help us bring back the NPC’s long lost glory. Help us save the NPC.
