Recently, a group of young artists called the Neo-Angono artists were commissioned to paint a mural for the National Press Club. It was to be unveiled at an event of the NPC. After finishing the work, the piece was revealed on the 55th anniversary celebration. The mural was tasked to visually depict PRESS FREEDOM.
On revelation, the mural was edited by another artist, covering elements that were deemed to be "leftist." (viva press freedom!)

Here's Andres Bonifacio's alibata "K" tattoo edited because it might be misconstrued as "leftist."
