We beg to differ.
There was a time when protests were done knowing well enough that such actions could cost your life or a stint in prison. Whether it was on the streets, or publishing or airing subversive materials, people were prepared for any possibility of harm that may come their way for pushing whatever vision or reforms they…
It didn’t help that the Philippines’ erstwhile top mass media corporation initially attempted to frame its legal troubles in a dishonest way and, worse, tried to pervert the honour of no less than the Philippine Senate to its corporate ends.

It couldn’t have been better timing. With ABS-CBN blinking out from the airwaves and Filipinos on COVID-19 lockdown, a new and very promising normal for Filipinos is on hand. Cooped up within their homes, Filipinos will soon learn how to entertain themselves without the perverted “entertainment” shoved down their throats supposedly “in the service of…
