- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every source for this story reports from Philippines.
Former House Speaker Martin Romualdez is currently detained at the New Quezon City Jail in Payatas. He faces a plunder case involving 7.44 billion pesos allegedly related to flood control corruption. His detention follows a one week period where he was placed under hospital confinement after his arrest. The Sandiganbayan Third Division has since granted an urgent motion allowing Romualdez to attend his arraignment and pretrial proceedings via videoconference. The court ordered the Quezon City Jail warden to provide the necessary facilities and equipment for the call. Additionally, the division clerk of court is directed to personally read the charges to Romualdez at the jail.
