Quote “According to the code of professional and ethical conduct of the Philippine press institute, “all efforts must be exerted to make stories fair, accurate and balanced.” However, Philippine Daily Inquirer’s “Cop ambushed in Pasig” by Kristine Alave and Philippine Star’s “Cop linked to Boratong killed in ambush” by Non Alquitran (this post dated Jan. 22, 2008 ) do not give the same information. One of these two newspapers certainly is inaccurate. Philippine Star stated the PO2 Roland Faraon, was the policeman who died while Philippine Daily Inquirer said it was PO2 Rolan Faraon. Who died? Was it Roland or Rolan? Inquirer said Faraon was one of 22 Pasig City policemen charged of protecting the shabu market while Star said he was one of 21. Inquirer said Faraon was working in Camp Ricardo Papa, Taguig City while Star said in Camp Bagong Diwa in Bicutan, Taguig City. The readers need to know the right information and writers need to be accurate at all times. Jan 22, 4:12 PM”
