Philippines Sunday Express/1972/09/24/Nationwide newscast by Tatad



Press Secretary Francisco Tatad will go on a nationwide radio-television news broadcast at 10 a.m. today to keep the public informed on the national situation.

The broadcast will be on TV Channel 9 and the radio stations of DWWW, the Philippine Broadcasting System and the Voice of the Philippines.

The possible reopening of other newspaper publications and radio and television stations will be threshed out at 7:30 a.m. today by two panels, one from the Malacañang Press Office headed by Tatad, and the other from the defense department headed by Defense Secretary Juan Ponce Enrile.

Only two newspapers were allowed to publish last night, the Manila Times and the Daily Express. The Times, however, could not gather enough editorial and production personnel to put out an issue today.

The two panels will also prepare the opening of a Press Center for foreign journalists.

All the foreign news agencies, as well as cable and telegraph offices, have been closed since 1:30 p.m. yesterday.
