One of the said “Fact Check” articles was published in Kami.com.ph. In its article entitled, “March 2,7 & 31 are not declared as national holidays“, Kami tagged the headline of Philnews.ph as “misleading”.
Philnews.ph has already reached out to Kami.com.ph over the issue through an e-mail sent to latter. The website has also explained on its previous statements that WordPress has character limits thus the writer cannot specify all the areas covered by the suspension in the title.
Meanwhile, the writer from Philnews.ph made sure that the areas covered by the central point of the article are packed in the content. Even in the slightest extent, he did not intend to mislead the readers as responsible reading requires getting all the information and what he offered was a total package.
Currently, Kami.com.ph has yet to respond to the e-mail sent to them over the “Fact Check” issue. Philnews.ph is thinking about filing a case against Kami.com.ph. It has also reached out to Rappler over the matter and a response has arrived.
On top of these all, Philnews.ph is very much determined to continue its service to its beloved readers. The delivery of impartial and factual reports remains its top concern.
