Ma Ceres P. Doyo is a Filipino journalist, author, human rights activist, and feminist[1] best known as a columnist and staff writer for the Philippine Daily Inquirer,[2] for her numerous books on Philippine Journalism,[3][4] and for the historical impact of her investigative reports during the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos.[5][6]

Martial law and journalism career beginnings

Doyo had been a human rights activist before she became a journalist, but decided to cover the murder of Butbut Kalinga pangat (leader) Macli-ing Dulag after his opposition to the Chico River Dam Project. The publication of the work in the Manila Bulletin's Panorama magazine led to the firing of its then-editor Letty Jimenez Magsanoc and to Doyo herself being investigated by Marcos' armed forces.[1] But the incident proved to be a watershed moment in the mainstream press' coverage of Martial Law, with the media finally being able to publish reports critical of Marcos' authoritarian rule.[7] The coverage earned Doyo her first major journalistic award, the Catholic Mass Media Awards trophy, given to her by Pope John Paul II during his visit to the Philippines in 1981.[6]

Journalistic career

Since starting out working on the Chico River Dam Project story, Doyo's career has covered four decades, including special reports, features, and a popular regular column titled "Human Face" published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer.[8]
