We beg to differ.
It’s curious how, on one hand, the wokedom of ABS-CBN supporters and fandoms get all their panties twisted over toxicity and “gaslighting” and, on another, are all agush over the artificial goings-on in a reality TV show like Pinoy Big Brother. PBB is cheap entertainment. It suckers young people who are starved for attention into…
Rappler “journalist” Nick Villavecer’s “report” where he sings praises to his own CEO Maria Ressa — a shareholder of his employer — is dishonest journalism because it is a blatant conflict of interest. In his piece “Attacks and harassment: Women journalists in the Philippines on the cost of truth-telling”, Villavecer cites a number of women…

The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) calls it an “alternative media magazine”. Pinoy Weekly is supposedly a “legitimate news organisation” the NUJP insists in a subsequent tweet. Why then would it be a subject of interest for the Philippine Police who, presumably, are looking out for the safety and security of the…

Despite many Filipinos including former contracted talent moving on with their lives, ABS-CBN continue a melodramatic emotional blackmail campaign to remind the public how “dependent” they are on the network “family” which they market as the brand Kapamilya. Instead of recognising that survival and prosperity as a private enterprise is something one’s management and shareholders…
Looking back at how ABS-CBN had influenced Philippine society, one can argue that the whole franchise was a failure.
