OP said that the woman in question was halfdutch so I just inferred that she is half Aryan , unless she was imprisoned for her mixedrace status perhaps her family went against the nazis ? <| sep |> Malacaang prohibits private media from covering an event meant to signify the Duterte administration ' s commitment to the free flow of information Talk about freedom of information . Private media were not allowed by Malacaang to cover an event meant to signify the Duterte administration ' s commitment to transparency and free flow of information . The event , the launch of the Freedom of Information FOI online portal and presentation of FOI manuals , took place at 3 pm on Friday , November 25 , the day President Rodrigo Duterte ' s FOI executive order takes effect . The rule barring private journalists from attending the event came as a surprise to Palace reporters since the day before , Communications Assistant Secretary Kris Ablan verbally invited them during a press conference . But before the launch began , only government media , like Radio Television Malacaang RTVM and PTV were allowed inside the venue , Heroes Hall in Malacaang . Communications Secretary Martin Andanar admitted to reporters after the event that even he was surprised that there were no private media in the room . He found out later from his staff that Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea had given instructions for only government media to be present . Andanar emphasized that there was no malice in Medialdea ' s instructions . Communications Assistant Secretary Mia Reyes , herself a former reporter , told Rappler that the invitation extended to private media was likely a case of miscommunication .
