Its job isn’t to be liked—it’s to hold power accountable. And history is clear: When the Fourth Estate bends, democracy breaks. The future of journalism belongs to those unafraid to challenge power—including their own. That’s the standard we should set, and that's the standard Voice of Laguna always meets.
