Thumbs up, thumbs down for Aquino’s TV Patrol tirades

Aquino tackles Noli
Thumbs up to President Aquino in setting aside tact and taking to task Noli de Castro’s dubious role as journalist.
Noli de Castro

Thumbs down for once again whining about media not reporting his idea of good news, as if media is an extension of Malacanang.

This is a portion of Aquino’s speech that directly hit De Castro even if his name was not mentioned:

“Noong Oktubre ng nakaraang taon, may isang reporter kayo ang nagbabalita sa NAIA 3. Ang sabi niya, sa puntong iyon, tumaas ng dalawampung porsiyento ang passenger arrivals sa paliparan.

Dapat may panagutan si De Castro sa anomalya sa Pag-ibig

Not accountable?
Tama naman si Sen. Serge Osmeña na imposible naman na mangyari ang multi-bilyon na anomaly sa Pag-ibig na walang pananagutan si dating Bise-presidente Noli de Castro , ang hepe ng Home Development Mutual Fund nang administrasyon ni Gloria Arroyo.

Vice president and concurrent chair of the Housing Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) Jejomar Binay said there’s no evidence that would link his predecessor former vice president Noli de Castro to the multibillion-peso anomalies at the Home Development Mutual Fund, also known as Pag-Ibig Fund, involving a housing firm.

Sabi ni Osmeña, “Totoo, walang nagsabi na binayaran niya si Noli ngunit hindi naman siguro mangyari ang ganung anomalya na walang kalokohan sa itaas. Siya ang chairman ay may responsibilidad siya.”

Ito ang kaso ng Globe Asiatique na pag-aari ni Delfin Lee na ayon sa imbestigasyon ay umutang sa HDMF (Pag-ibig) ng P6.6 bilyon para daw ipatayo ng 9,000 na mga bahay para sa mga miyembro ng Pag-ibig. Ang kanilang proyekto na ang pangalan ay Xevera ay nasa Bacolor at Mabalacat, Pampanga.

Media’s skewed coverage of execution of Filipino drug mules

A relative of one of the executed drug mule in China, snapped at a journalist at the airport,”Are you happy with what you are doing?”

Noli de Castro and other broadcasters and journalists who feasted on this story of the drug mules should answer that.

In my prayers for the families of Sally Ordinario-Villanueva, Ramon Credo and Elizabeth Batain for strength as they try to cope with the loss of their loved ones, I also ask that God touches the conscience of TV networks personalities who sensationalized the deaths of the three to boost their ratings.

The networks obviously wanted to replicate a Flor Contemplacion situation, a media event in 1995 that violated all rules of journalism, ignoring the facts of the case and reported based on emotions.

Shalani shines in primetime battle

Which early evening show did you watch last Monday?

A demure presence in a hyper show
Although there’s GMA-7’s “24 Oras”, the question refers to last Monday night’s battle royale between ABS-CBN’s TV Patrol and ABC-5’s Willing Willie.

Last Monday’s episode of TV Patrol marked the returned of Noli de Castro and Korina Sanchez-Roxas to the prime time news cast. Over at TV-5, it was the debut of Valenzuela councilor Shalani Soledad as co-host of Willie Revillame.

TV Patrol features an ex-vice president, an ex-congressman and wife of an ex-senator. Last Monday’s contest was also dubbed as the battle between ex-future first ladies. If you have no idea why “ex-future first ladies”, I suggest you click to goggle.

TV 5 claimed according to Nielsen, the firm that tracks TV viewership, Willing Willie trounced TV patrol with 11.6 percent share of the audience tying with GMA-7 24 Oras. TV Patrol got 10.7% of early evening audience.

That’s believable because I asked five of my friends what they watched last Monday and all of them answered: Shalani.

De Castro: GMA Jr?

Sa kanyang pag-anunsyo na gusto niyang kumandidato bilang bise-presidente, sinabi Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno na “transformational politics” ang kanyang pairalin.

Ano yun? Tansform para sa mas matinding kurakutan at dayaan?

Ngayong araw, gagawing pormal na raw ang pag-iisa ng Lakas-CMD at Kampi, ang dalawang maka-administrasyon na partido. Si Gloria Arroyo daw and chairperson at siya ang mag-appoint ng interim officers. Kaya tatak Gloria Arroyo talaga itong pinagsanib na partido.
