Tonette Orejas has been writing for the Philippine Daily Inquirer since 1997. She garnered the first local journalist award of the Society of Publishers in Asia in 2004. Her special reports on agrarian reform, Mount Pinatubo rehabilitation and coping by Indigenous Aeta communities have been cited by the Catholic Mass Media Awards and other organizations. Her special reports on housing corruption led to jail time for a private developer while stories on the publication of fake notices for public works led to the ouster of an official and resulted in a shift to online bidding for projects.
