"Today, Cebu daily media chose to disappoint the Cebuano people with its faulty and malicious reportage of events and the context of Lumad evacuees taking sanctuary in our university. The widespread disinformation has aggravated plenty to viciously slander and malign the proud institution and its community. Today's Carolinian will not stand for it. We will be fact-checking all all such claims." --
Editor-in-chief, Today's Carolinian, University of San Carlos, Cebu City, February 15, 2021
THE statement attributed to the editor-in-chief of the student paper of the University of San Carlos was a critique of sort on the local news reports last Monday, February 15, about 19 minors belonging to an indigenous group in Mindanao who were "rescued" from a Cebu university and at least four adults who accompanied them.
