Manila:
When President Aquino spoke before editors of member-newspapers of the Asia
News Network (ANN) at a dinner on Thursday night, he might have been addressing
almost half of the world's population.
ANN, an alliance of 22 leading newspapers in 19 countries, has a strong presence in the world's most populous nations—China through China Daily, India through The Statesman, Indonesia through the Jakarta Post, Pakistan through The Dawn and Bangladesh through The Daily Star.
Thus, the dinner meeting with representatives from the largest organization of English newspapers in Asia gave the President the opportunity to reach a wider audience in the international community.
Addressing the ANN journalists, Mr. Aquino cited the critical role of the media and exhorted them to uphold integrity and truth in reporting in their respective countries.
In the open forum following his speech, the President fielded questions from the ANN editors on topics ranging from the Philippines' special relationship with the United States, the Mindanao peace talks and next year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Bali, Indonesia.
ANN executive editor Pana Janviroj, who is also president of Thailand's The Nation Group, thanked the President for gracing the occasion and the Inquirer for hosting the dinner with the President.
