This is a story about people spreading false, content-free things on social media to discredit political opponents. In that context, your comment raises more questions than it answers.
In addition, the piece makes a large number of factual assertions that could be easily verified. Are journalists being targeted for harassment? Are government-linked bloggers advocating for the arrest of journalists? A moment's googling suggests the answer is "yes". And of course Duterte's death squads are well known.
Edit: Also, I don't think a glib accusation of bias helps much here. Yes, no doubt there's two (or more) sides to this story, but even if true, that amounts to nothing more than a tu quoque at best, and a "they deserved it" at worst.
