Philippine Corporate Media have FAILED the Filipino people

June 8, 2016 benign0 16 Comments

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. Every “journalist” and her dog is screaming bloody “censorship”….

The Immorality Of Philippine Television

September 27, 2015 Grimwald 44 Comments

As of late people have been pestering me about AlDub despite the fact that I already explained, repeatedly even, that I did not choose the picture for my article about Philippine media and that the article itself has little to do with everyone’s favorite noon-time couple. However, that did not stop their steadfast defenders from…

Shouldn’t ABS-CBN apologize to Jejomar Binay as well?

September 20, 2015September 20, 2015 FallenAngel 28 Comments

Perhaps it’s too much to ask of ABS-CBN, though. Common sense should dictate that the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) student body was not the only aggrieved party. They weren’t the one who was “mistakenly” reported as being shouted at with trapo. Vice President Jejomar Binay, the one invited to the forum, was….

ABS-CBN News cops the wrath of the University of the Philippines student body!

September 20, 2015September 20, 2015 benign0 8 Comments

The sloppy journalism of ABS-CBN News has finally caught up with it. In an “open letter”, the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) Student Council (SC) pointedly denounced the “unethical journalism” practiced by the Philippines’ largest for-profit media corporation… Last Tuesday, 15 September, the Vice President of the Philippines, Jejomar Binay, visited the University…

Kim Atienza and Joey Marquez’s 5 Sept 2015 It’s Showtime! performance: A sample of a dysfunctional Philippine society

I am not a fan of ABS-CBN’s Its Showtime! but last Saturday, September 5, 2015, I was not able to avoid watching it. I was working at home and my laptop is just a few meters away from our TV. My AutoCAD had a hard time reading one of the files that I was working…

Twerking On Noon-Time TV: Another Sermon

August 23, 2015 Grimwald 13 Comments

Let us all rise… Okay, let’s get a few things straight first. No, I am not a priest, reverend nor any kind of preacher. No, I’m not an expert on the Bible or any kind of religion, for that matter. No, I do not see myself as some kind of savior of the Philippines like…

Our Obsession with Pinoy Big Brother and What It Says About Us

July 11, 2015 Grimwald 30 Comments

Well PBB or Pinoy Big Brother is all over the news now what with the MTRCB getting all riled up because of some discovered “scandals” in the show. Honestly, I don’t even know why this show continues to air and why people continue to watch it even though it’s quite clear to me that it…

Lewd Vice Ganda billboards full of naked men offends Cebu morality police!

July 8, 2015July 8, 2015 Kate Natividad 4 Comments

What was the management of ABS-CBN thinking posting this supposedly “lewd” billboard promoting Filipino gay celebrity Vice Ganda’s concert in Cebu? Well, if we go by the current politically-correct thinking, it was thinking normal thoughts. Encouraging homosexuals to “express their sexuality” is kinda the in thing nowadays, I heard. So I suppose we really cannot…
