Philippine Corporate Media have FAILED the Filipino people

As of this writing, President-elect Rodrigo Duterte has pretty much slammed the door on the face of the Philippines’ clique of for-profit Corporate Media “journalists” and now relies on state-owned (not-for-profit) People’s Television (PTV4) Network and Radio Television Malacañang (RTVM) for the issuance of public updates.

Ayala Corporation’s Chief Finance Officer Jose Teodoro K. Limcaoco To Replace BSP Governor Amando Tetangco?

Over the past few months I’ve heard so many theories regarding the just recently concluded elections. Some of them panned out well and others just tanked. Thing is, speculators haven’t stopped speculating with the latest rounds focusing around who President Rodrigo “PDiggity” Duterte is appointing to various government posts and there are over 20,000 such…
