Philippine Media Freedom Index

What the press freedom rankings show about Philippine media in 2025

The Rankings

The Philippines ranks in the lower middle range of global press freedom indices, reflecting the specific combination of factors that the Reporters Without Borders and Freedom of the Press Foundation assessments weight: the legal environment for journalists, the economic conditions of media organisations, and the specific safety conditions for journalists who cover contentious topics. Each factor has specific Philippine characteristics.

The Safety Record

The safety record: the Philippines remains among the most dangerous countries for journalists by the Committee to Protect Journalists documentation. The specific cases of journalist killings in the current administration have been fewer than in previous administrations. The impunity rate -- the percentage of journalist killings where perpetrators are convicted -- remains at the level that the CPJ identifies as among the highest in the world.
