We beg to differ.
But of course the usual mob of Opposition “activists” will defy the ban on “street protests” on Monday the 27th July 2020. But are they going to exhibit or demonstrate anything new? Quite unlikely. They will be as predictable as they’ve always been — with their “oust” rhetoric, their “human rights” blah blah, and their…

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. Supporters of the failed network hinge the whole rationale of its existence on “media freedom”. But, while there is clear merit in media freedom, this freedom does not seem to have been applied wisely in the…
I mean, any schmoe can come up with a hashtag and “trend” it on Twitter. So here’s a classic: “#OustDuterte”. Right. And then what?

It is too bad that employees of embattled media network ABS-CBN are paying for the sins of the “journalists” of the network’s “Current Affairs” Department.

ABS-CBN starlet Angel Locsin is currently being put up as a goddess of ABS-CBN fandom. Such is this reverence for the celebrity that even the foremost “thought leaders” of Yellowtardom (the community of partisans rabidly loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco feudal clan) now even see Locsin as a possible presidential bet presumably for the coming 2022…

What are supporters and former employees of ABS-CBN thinking inciting mass protests over their execs’ failure to secure a franchise renewal? What do they hope to achieve? “People power” rallies are so 1980s. More recent ones failed to move people, what more one that is focused more on the plight of a media network and…

The recent junking of the franchise renewal of ABS-CBN is a welcome breath of fresh air. As I’ve wrote on my previous article, I really, truly couldn’t care less if ABS-CBN goes off the air. My sentiment is still the same. ABS-CBN has played political kingmakers for decades, dumbed down its audiences with its roster…
