The Tribune experienced harassment by government forces when the police raided its offices shortly after midnight on February 25, 2006. Policemen without warrant swooped down on the Tribune office in Manila, after then president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo put the country under a state of emergency. In October that same year, then first gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo also filed a libel suit against 43 journalists, including the paper’s editor-in-chief Ninez Cacho-Olivares.
