Media-related Issuances

This list as of writing is definitely not comprehensive. The decrees and letters of instruction are most likely to be found in the Official Gazette's website, but a number of other documents (e.g. department orders, letters of implementation, etc.) seem to be neither in the Gazette nor anywhere else on the internet. I'd be happy to know where to access digital copies, if any. Perhaps further expansion of the list might merit a separate article altogether? That being said, there is one other item I would like to include on the list, but because I do not have a source that clearly says when it was signed or issued, hesitate to include it at the moment:

Department Order No. 2 - Prohibited all printers from producing any newspaper, periodical, pamphlet, leaflet, or other material for mass dissemination without prior written permission from the DPI.^[1]

Copied from this page to Mass media in the Philippine

The following content from this page was added to Mass media in the Philippines with citations and minor editing:

Before the declaration of martial law, mass media in the Philippines functioned as a government watchdog and source of information for citizens. Marcos exerted considerable effort to stifle the free press, which is considered a key feature of a functioning democracy. He shut down media outlets and set up set up print and broadcast outlets that he controlled through his cronies. In doing so, he silenced public criticism and opposition by controlling information that the people had access to. This allowed him to have the final say on what passed as truth. By controlling the press, the dictatorship was able to suppress negative news and create an exaggerated perception of progress.
