Media Shares a Part of the Blunder Too
Share
Its not only the police response to the hostage crisis that should be examined: the Philippine media has its own share of blunder too.
Is there such thing as absolute press freedom?
No, I don’t think so. Because there is no such thing as absolute freedom. If there is absolute freedom, there will only be anarchy or [...]
INCOMPETENT PNP: The Quirino Grandstand Carnage
Share
The Philippine National Police (PNP) became the laughing stock of all law enforcements here in the planet, with the way they handled the Quirino Grandstand hostage crisis. Not only that, their so-called prestigious name became synonymous with this word: INCOMPETENT.
True enough, our police force demonstrated their utmost incompetency in dealing with a sensitive situation and [...]
Thoughts on PNoy’s SONA
Share

The State of the Nation Address of President Benigno Aquino III created a buzz among the people: some people find the SONA to be a blockbuster-tell-all-the-truth scenario, others find it some sort of reminiscing of PGMA’s administration and decry all the anomalies that happened during that term.
In other words, some people may [...]

Murder of the FOI
Share
I might be late in updating my blog, but I never miss my dose of news everyday, as I surf the web. Recently, I expressed my OUTMOST DISGUST about the murder of the Freedom of Information Bill, courtesy of the 14th Congress. Here’s my disgusted comment over at Ms. Ellen Tordesillas’ blog:

Jeezz. I don’t know what’s wrong with the world today or perhaps, the parents of this kiddo why they did allow this young fella to smoke! I was really caught off guard from doing my usual papers, when I saw this SHOCKING video of Ardi Rizal (Demn, is he related to Jose Rizal or what???)

WTF: Unopposed Candidates?
Share
I saw this post in Barrio Siete – a list that contains the names of unopposed candidates from different locations in our country. I am wondering how COMELEC just let this pass. How can they call the elections in those locations? Election pa ba ang matatawag kung unopposed ang mga candidates sa lugar ninyo?
Here is [...]
Glitches Galore
Share
I dunno if COMELEC is aware of testing and configuration when it comes to automated devices. Earlier today, it was reported that certain PCOS machines experienced glitches during the reading of the ballots in Makati, Paranaque, Mindoro and Batangas. As of this posting time, reports of PCOS machines in Batangas have experienced 100 percent glitch [...]

Share
Blogger’s Note: I am reposting this article from Barrio Siete which I found interesting to take note of.
