CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, PAMPANGA — To strengthen public service and investigative journalism in Central Luzon, the non-government organization Ipabitagmo Inc. (IBMI-NGO) has officially forged a partnership with CLTV36.
This partnership aims to help Ipabitagmo Inc. and BITAG reach more people specially in Central Luzon. It makes sure that the problems and issues of those in need from far areas are being heard.
Justice for the Voiceless: The Aeta CAFGU Case
The NGO-IBMI and BITAG is currently helping the family of Randy Manalo, an Aeta CAFGU member who was reportedly beaten to death by a military official.
The case, which first aired on HelpDesk ipaBITAGmo last September, highlights the NGO’s commitment to seeking justice for Indigenous Persons (IPs) against those in positions of power. With CLTV36’s regional reach, these investigations are expected to gain more traction.
NGO-IBMI and BITAG are making sure this case is not forgotten and that the family gets the justice they deserve.
Keeping Youth Away from Bad Habits
Together with BITAG Media Unlimited Inc and NGO- ipaBITAGmo Inc., the Gen-Z duo advocates Perkins Twins also joined the team to talk to young people.
In their interviews on radio they shared a clear message: Stay away from drugs, smoking, and bullying. They want the youth to focus on good values and healthy living.
Working Together for the Community
The leaders of the LausGroup of Companies, the Chairman Mrs. Tess Laus and President and son Mr. Paul Laus welcomed Ben BITAG, NGO team and The Perkins to their offices to show their support.
The primary goal of this collaboration is to create a permanent digital footprint for IBMI-NGO’s activities. By combining CLTV36’s news coverage and BMUI’s reality documentation with IBMI’s activities – every reaching out, and every advocacy will be documented and accessible to the public online.
This collaboration is all about making sure that no one is left behind and that everyone’s voice is heard.
