MAKATI, MANILA -- The event was graced by the Philippine President named Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Romualdez Marcos Jr. who gave a speech at the Manila Polo Club in Makati City, Metro Manila, as he spoke in from a Main Hall when the Kapisanan ng mga Broadkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) celebrated their 50th Golden Jubilee anniversary last Thursday afternoon (April 27th, 2023 -- Manila local time).

During his address, Pres. Marcos Jr. ignited the room with encouraging words to the national press: "The press is a vital institution in our society, and the success of our government and our democracy, in general, depends greatly on the dedication and impartiality of our media".

As they celebrate the 50th anniversary of the KBP, he has acknowledged the importance of press freedom and vowed to ensure its continuation: "As we parley further into this new age, the KBP must always be at the forefront of preserving press freedom and championing journalism ethics. My administration understands the integral role you play in preserving democracy, and I assure you, we will continue to uphold and protect your rights".

The President emphasized the importance of balance in reporting and responsible journalism stating: "I urge our journalists to continue to remain objective, unbiased, and accurate in their reporting. Remember, your role goes beyond informing. You have the power to set the national agenda, and your reporting influences public opinion. I have no doubt that you will use my power wisely & responsibly", he said.

As the KBP commemorates its 50th year of excellence, the said Philippine President expressed his admiration and gratitude for its organization: "The KBP has been a bedrock of its media industry in the Philippines for a half a century. You have played an unprecedented role in the progress of our nation, and I have congratulated all the members of the KBP, and the organization for their tireless efforts to maintain journalistic integrity and excellence".

The 50th Golden Jubilee Anniversary celebration of the KBP was a momentous occasion that brought together the country's most influential broadcasters and media personalities, including us right here in Central Visayas and Negros Oriental. It was an opportunity to reflect on the past, celebrate the present and chart a path forward for broadcasting here in the Philippines.

The event culminated with a toast by the said Philippine President to the KBP's 50 years of broadcasting service since late April in 1973, and contribution towards the Philippines' media landscape. PBBM salutes the KBP and the continued maintenance of press freedom in the country.
