LOOK: The College Editors Guild of the Philippines - Cordillera (CEGP-Cordillera), together with its member publications and media organizations, expressed solidarity with The Earthline, the official student publication of Kalinga State University, following negative and red-tagging comments on its coverage of the Konsultahang Kabataan led by Kabataan Partylist and its representative Atty. Renee Co.

The group condemned the comments as attacks on campus journalism and press freedom, emphasizing that The Earthline was fulfilling its mandate by covering the student event.

CEGP-Cordillera also cited the Supreme Court ruling in Deduro v. Vinoya, which recognized red-tagging and vilification as threats to the safety of those targeted, and called for the protection of student publications, campus journalists, and academic freedom.
