Shameless Journalists Breaking the Code of Ethics
It is easy to put up slogans like “Legal, honest, and truthful,” “In the service of the Filipino worldwide,” “Not siding with anyone, not protecting anyone; no untruths, just purely service!”
But that is not how people experience the output of news media giants these days. Is it?
In fact the Presidente-elect Rody Duterte said “pera-pera lang yan!” (It’s all about money!)
Here are excerpts from Duterte’s talk to media -
Let’s be frank. I am saying these without excuses. No apologies, no nothing. You like to hear it? Fine. If not, so be it. That’s the truth. Let’s not fool each other. You already know it: they abound - the vultures pretending to be journalists!
The problem is every son of a bitch who claims to be journalist makes money out of it, milking money, extorting money from the people… and he is killed and he is glorified because he is a journalist. There is always a paid hack. It is not only in other professions. Do not ever think that you are in a field of purity. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXRTdljXljA)
I am quite certain that the President-elect Duterte has had experiences similar to mine when he said about media in the Philippines (referring to giant networks) as "pera-pera lang yan!"(It’s all about money!).
Examples
Why will a network intentionally put in its news and international at that, a particular restaurant as serving good food when there are many that serve better? Doesn’t it follow that the journalist will profit from this news-riding advertisement?
Merriam Webster terms this as advertorial - an advertisement in the form of editorial content. Accordingly, the term "advertorial" is a blend of the words "advertisement" and "editorial." It is really an advertisement but with the face of news! How deceptive!
And why do we underscore this? Because news is supposed to be objective (no money involved) and advertisement is hard-sell (money is involved). So it is important that one must not dress up as another.
Why not let the restaurant owner buy space or time to advertise his restaurant? That way, it will appear as true-blue advertisement and not as news. And why does the Editor-in-Chief approve of such injustice to other restaurants?
By accepted universal standards, businesses must advertise their products or service and not ride on as news! What obtains is fooling the public! The audience can tell because it starts as news and eventually there goes the hype!
But what about those who cannot discern? Are they your target audience? What about those trusting in you that you deliver your service according to your slogan of honesty? Of truthfulness? Of being of service to the people? The reason behind may be... "pera-pera lang yan!"
Not newsworthy
There are items posted, printed, and broadcast by news media that are not newsworthy! Gossips about screen personalities like impending split of celebrities, the fight of two jealous contenders for a man in the fourth street of Bangkusay, a street vendor having a boxing spree with another vendor - these will not benefit viewers and readers. This is gossipmongering that is prohibited in the Bible!
PROVERBS 16:28 (GNB)
Gossip is spread by wicked people; they stir up trouble and break up friendships.
Fairness is a must especially in investigative journalism. While it is public interest and a right to know things about a popular person in the government, in the private sector, and in the religious world, both good and bad accounts about a person must be published by media practicing fair journalism! There is then balance in reporting.
II CORINTHIANS 6:8
By honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
Focusing on the negative
Choosing to always cover one-sided reports about a person is unfair!
Brother Eli has been the subject of evil reports by media networks in the Philippines, sometimes the subject of headlines in some newspapers! Of the multiple cases filed by religious adversaries of Brother Eli in Philippine courts, most are reported as news and intended to malign him. However, when the case is dismissed or where Brother Eli is exonerated, there is no news about it, leaving an imbalance – like presenting to the public that I am an evil person - a menace to society! Is that the truth of it?
Here are some of those that media chose to ignore:
1. Criminal Case No. QO4-126059 (For Libel). This case was filed on March 31, 2004 by the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) represented by Bienvenido C. Santiago against Ang Dating Daan program discussants Joselito Mallari and Wilfredo Santiago, and was finally judged on February 15, 2015. In a 13-page decision penned by Presiding Judge Manuel B. Sta. Cruz, Jr. of the Regional Trial Court, NCJR, Branch 226, Joselito “Josel” Mallari and Wilfredo “Willy” Santiago are acquitted of the crime of Libel for failure of the prosecution to prove all the elements of the crime charged, thus failing to establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. DISMISSED
2. Criminal Case 5957 (For Libel). At the Regional Trial Court, Fourth Judicial Region, Branch 76 of San Mateo Rizal, Philippines, this case sought a motion to declare accused Eliseo Soriano a fugitive from justice and to issue a hold departure against him. Judge Josephine Zarate Fernandez on August 31, 2007 denied the motion. Soriano’s counsel had underscored that his client is under intense persecution by the INC, explaining his failure to return to the country. DENIED
3. Criminal Case 06-248365 (For Libel). At the Regional Trial Court, National Capital Region, Branch 8, Manila, this case sought a motion to declare accused Eliseo Soriano a fugitive from justice. In a decision penned by Presiding Judge Felixberto T. Olalia, Jr. on December 15, 2009, in the absence of evidences to support accusations, the court said the accused cannot be declared a “fugitive from justice.” DENIED
4. Criminal Case 5957 (For Libel). In an eight-page decision penned by Josephine Zarate Fernandez, Presiding Judge of the Regional Trial Court, Fourth Judicial Region, Branch 76 of San Mateo Rizal, TV Broadcaster Eliseo F. Soriano was acquitted of the charge of libel. The order signed on January 14, 2014 said that malice was not proven beyond reasonable doubt. ACQUITTED
5. Criminal Case 06-248365 (For Libel) that failed to get its motion to declare the preacher as fugitive from justice, was archived. ARCHIVED
6. Criminal Cases Nos. 2002-4236-MK (For attempted murder). Bernardo Santiago of the Iglesia ni Cristo had filed a case of attempted murder against Bro. Eli Soriano and his companions. According to the order dismissing the case, the prosecution presented Witnesses Glen Fernandez and Rommel Elbambuena who both heard one of the accused say, “Patayin yan! Patayin yan! Utos ni Ingkong!” (Kill him! Kill him! Order of Ingkong!). Ingkong is a monicker for Bro. Eli Soriano.
Judge Geraldine Fiel-Macaraig of the Regional Trial Court, Branch 192 of Marikina City, however, dismissed the case for insufficiency of evidence on February 11, 2010. Conspiracy was not proven. DISMISSED
7. Criminal Case No. Q-05-136679 (For Libel). Ramil T. Parba as representative of the Iglesia ni Cristo along with Marianito Cayao and Bernardo Santiago, accused Eliseo Soriano and his companions, Danilo Navales, Jocel Mallari, Wilfredo Santiago and Luzviminda Cruz, of libel in a program aired on January 21, 2005.
In a 15-page decision signed on February 11, 2014 by Judge Jose G. Paneda of the Regional Trial Court, Branch 220 of the National Capital Judicial Region of Quezon City, Bro. Eliseo Soriano and his co-hosts at UNTV37 are acquitted of the crime of libel.
Comments are considered privileged communication when the subject in question is a public figure whose calling gives the public a legitimate interest in its doings, the decision said. DISMISSED.
Always Alert when Negative
But what is suspicious is that when a case filed by an enemy progressed or when Brother Eli is denied of his appeals, these media giants are the first to report them!
Isn’t it logical to think that these media are being paid for or influenced by Brother Eli's detractors? "Pera-pera lang ba yan?" Ewan ko. Alam nila yan! The involved know about it, for sure.
What’s Newsworthy?
It is not only the legal battle of Brother Eli with influential religions that is news worthy. There are a number of charitable works and community services being led by Brother Eli that did not merit the attention of these media giants. Maybe nobody paid them to put in their news line-up these newsworthy items!
a. MCGI as Number 1 Blood Donor: On average, around 10,000 blood units are amassed yearly by Members Church of God International (MCGI), which it donates to government and non-government organizations. (https://www.elisoriano.com/ang-dating-daan-supports-blood-donor-day/)
b. Distribution Partner of PBS: Bro. Eli is a lifetime member, regular donor and major distribution partner of the Philippine Bible Society. The congregation that he leads gives out free Bibles.
c. Free college project: La Verdad. La Verdad was first established in Apalit, Pampanga in 2009, envisioning an “institution that ensures quality learning and biblical moral standards.”
Abroad, La Verdad campuses in Ghana and Liberia were inaugurated in 2012 to extend free education to African natives. In 2014, Bro. Eli offered scholarship grants to Yolanda victims in the country, apart from the regular scholarships being offered.
Other MCGI projects with focus on education, with constant media partner, UNTV, include the Dunong-Gulong, a school-on- wheels project in support to DepEd’s Alternative Learning System, and the Manibela Academy, a roaming learning hub that provides driving and livelihood programs to the indigent. (https://www.elisoriano.com/bro-eli- offers-scholarship- grants-to-yolanda-victims/).

d. First in the country: The transient home project by the Kamanggagawa Foundation, a non-profit arm by the Members Church of God International (MCGI) caters to those unable to go home for the night. It has several of these in the country.
e. Infant Care Center of the MCGI. Established in 2012, this is a sanctuary for abandoned, neglected and abused infants.
f. Free Rides with vehicles plying the streets.
g. Daily free medical and dental clinic (http://www.mcgi.org/the-true-church-of-god/church-charities/)
While I cannot mention everything that we do, these are just examples of what could be reported on – and not the usual fare of tattler tales.
Address to Media
Because they cannot see clearly, this is the verse that these news media giants merit.
MATTHEW 23:24 (MKJV)
Blind guides who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!
Clearly, this is about contrast in size. The hypocrisy in all your slogans of honesty, truthfulness and service is that you so pay attention to petty matters and report them but ignore the weightier ones.
You believe certain things that are really not important yet state that they are because it is to your selfish benefit.
What is important again about impending split of celebrities, the fight of two jealous contenders for a man in the fourth street of Bangkusay, a street vendor having a boxing spree with another vendor?
As media, aren’t you supposed to be guides to the common tao?
Amen
ReplyDeleteButi na lang may UNTV! Di nila kaya pantayan ang public service effort despite mga higante sila. Thanks be to God
ReplyDeleteAwesome blog by Mr controversy x
ReplyDeleteWhat Mr. Controversy X has narrated is very true. Giant media networks are only for the money. It is shown by the quality of programs they have. "For the benefit of the people" Hu? Really? Who are you fooling? You are letting irresponsible advertisements aired in your station. Cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, softdrinks, instant foods and the likes. Are these good for the people, specially to our children? Come on! "Pera pera lang yan!" as what President Duterte said. Very true!
ReplyDeleteIt is timely and worth reading and sharing
ReplyDeleteAnd they go on believing they are actually honorable people.
ReplyDeleteThey can not swallow the bitter pill President Duterte reminded them about their real looks.
Philippines has a lot of cleaning to do.
Awesome free college and transient home projects by the MCGI. To God be the glory!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, it is very obvious here in Philippines. Whenever there's something negative to report about Bro. Eli eh most of the MEDIA would published such news and mind you, they would put it on front page of their newspapers. BUT, they have never mentioned the significant things and public services of Bro. Eli. Bro. Eli had done so many FIRST in feild of public services, which until now, no one of these giant and billionare TV networks mind to do the same. Shame on them! Go Bro. Eli! We will andwe do appreciate your works and services for us! God bless you!
ReplyDeletethis is very true no one can deny the word come out from the mouth of the holy god, thanks be to god and to god be the glory...Amen
ReplyDeleteSalamat sa Dios at may ganitong blog si brd eli na nag papaliwanag ng kaibahan ng ibang network at sa mga binabalita ng untv na puro relevant ang ibinabalita
ReplyDeleteA million thanks to God Almighty about the decision of all cases filed by the group of manalos.
ReplyDeleteThis group uses the media to persecute people who exposed and shows all of inc's practices that is obviously againts the BIBLE.
The unbridled lust of many a journalist particularly in the Philippines have blemished their code of ethics in a variety of ways at the sight of money. The term "bribe" in which an ethical journalist would classify as an atrocious cruelty has been rephrased to "blessing" by many corrupt broadcasters and writers , as a passport to survival in the field of journalism. What happened to the journalist creed where it says "I believe that the journalism which succeeds best — and best deserves success — fears God and honors Man; is stoutly independent, unmoved by pride of opinion or greed of power, constructive, tolerant but never careless, self-controlled, patient, always respectful of its readers but always unafraid, is quickly indignant at injustice; is unswayed by the appeal of privilege or the clamor of the mob.." None of these apply anymore. It's easy to defame without worries of libel when you know the loopholes and if you are a debauched journalist. And yes how many times have you read news where what is being delivered would be beneficial or even to the least pleasant? It seem that they need some edification to add on top of their so called education. And to make that possible, you need to have a TRUE GOD in your life.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to ruin a man's life by speaking of perversion and lies to discredit him. And despite the many fabricated stories some journalist wrote and spoke about Bro. ELI, it was clear that the man has a divine intervention looking after him. GOD is good.
This blog of Bro.ELI is well documented and referential. Thanks be to GOD for another informative blog. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
I absolutely agree with what Mr Controversy and President-elect Rodrigo Duterte are saying. That in media, there are journalist who only care about gossips which is frankly irrelevant to me and to other people.
ReplyDeleteIt is good that there is UNTV channel who claims and DO honest and truthful journalism.
Thanks be to GOD for a wonderful blog Mr Controversy.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!
These are corrupt media men,Mat.23:24-"Blind guides who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!"
ReplyDeleteGo UNTV!,the only trusted news media
in the Philippines today.Thanks Be To GOD and To GOD Be The Glory.
Tama Ka mr. Jonathan labas!!
DeleteYou're perfectly right bro Jonathan labao!!!😅👍👍😅
DeleteIt's all about money. Truth was covered by material things.
ReplyDeleteTO GOD BE THE GLORY! :)
ReplyDeleteTo God be the Glory!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely true. Pera pera lang yan. Hypocrite journalists. This is an eyeopener. Kudos to Mr controversy!
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDeleteAdmittedly true. It's indeed easy to say that they are for the truth and so on and so forth but if you take a closer look, you could see a lot of advertisement wrapped in their news and what's more's that they focus too much on nonsensical gossips about celebrities. Duh?! Sometimes I would just roll my eyes upon seeing these kinds of news. This blog sums up the sad state of journalism. Hope this blog could bring out more sensible reporting.
ReplyDeletemay lagay ang channel at para tuloy tuloy ang sahod ng mga newscaster.
ReplyDeletePera pera lang yan!maibigin sa salapi
ReplyDeleteAMEN po!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks be to God!

UNTV is the best, resourceful TV Network for our knowledge so we can awair about the situation of our Country🇧🇷🇨🇦🇺🇸🇵🇭
May the God Guide you Pres.Duterte
God Bless Philippines
Very well enunciated by Bro Eli.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, every once in a while, journalists need to go back and review the ethical standards in mass media. A very elementary teaching for media personalities but very helpful as guiding principles. :)
kailan nga kaya magkakaron ng pagbabago ang kalakaran sa Pinas? Kahit yung iba, naturingan pa na "media".... pera-pera din lang.... haaaaaaaaaay, Pilipinas kong mahal...
ReplyDeleteSome of the media not broadcast for the welfare of all the citizen of Phils. but those who was in favor with them other words money talks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this blog Mr. Controversy. Hope this will enlighten to some media men.
ReplyDeleteAmen! Thanks be to God.
ReplyDeleteThanks be to God!!!!
ReplyDeleteMCGI & UNTV
It is true that there are many newsworthy items that shameless journalists choose to ignore. Most are just rummaging social media sites for trivial topics and silly tales. Tsk, tsk, tsk, totally lacking intellectual substance. Very disappointing.
ReplyDeleteIt's true..thanks be to God for this Blog.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS BE TO GOD! For another informative blog
ReplyDeletei agree i'd notice some news broadcast not worthy, more are gossips, pag walang bayad hnd nila ibabalita kahit mahalaga at kapakipakinabang sa mga tao.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that Mr. Controversy!
ReplyDeleteIn fact the Presidente-elect Rody Duterte said “pera-pera lang yan!
ReplyDeleteKung hihimayin lang sa dami ng maaaring sabihin sa media, maging sa peryodiko o telebisyon, hindi marahil sasapat ang kalahating oras na balita para ipabatid sa publiko ang dagsa-dagsang kabutihan na naipamalas at naibahagi ng IGLESIA NG DIOS INTL sa ating mga kapwa, maging kalahi man o banyaga. Gaya ng nasasaad sa blog ng Kapatid na ELI: a. Donasyon ng dugo, b. pamamahagi ng bibliya, c. libreng kolehiyo, d. gusaling panuluyan, e. bahay ampunan, f. libreng pasahe o sakay. G.libreng gamot, doktor at dentista… na ilan lang sa mga proyekto ng iglesia. Pagpapaimbabaw ba? Hindi. Ngunit kung naipahayag ito ng MEDIA sa bansang Pilipinas ay posibleng mas marami pa ang makikinabang. Kaalaman lang ang kailangan at hindi ang gaya ng mga ito ang ibig ibalita ng MEDIA. Bakit? Dahil hindi sila makikinabang. Hindi nila ipamamahagi ang mga proyekto ng iglesia na gaya ng mga ito, dahil hindi sila babayaran. May katapat nga ang pera. At nakalulunos isipin na may katumbas na salapi ang SALITA. Malayong-malayo sa libreng aral sa bibliya na walang kaanib sa Iglesia ng DIOS ang hindi ito nalalaman.
ReplyDeleteBakit nga ba tuwing may mapapanood o maririnig o mababasa kang balita ay halos walang MAGANDANG BALITA kang masusumpungan? Dahil ang bibliya ang may magandang balita. At salamat sa DIOS na isa akong kaanib na nakikinabang sa mga balitang ito na binabasa at binabalangkas ng kapatid na ELI.
Sa DIOS ang lahat ng Kapurihan. Salamat sa DIOS.
madami nga sa media practitioner sa Filipinas ang di baling di nila masunod ng code ethics nila as media basta may pera...
ReplyDeletegracias a Dios

ReplyDeleteTama! Talaga dapat ang mga journalist ay dapat fair at tapat na hindi nagpapadala sa pera. Salamat sa Dios sa blog na ito. It is an eye opener for us so I hope everybody will read this blog.
ReplyDeleteThank GOD for another exposition of truth. May GOD bless this blog and may GOD give courage and guidance to the Duterte administration to combat all elements of corruption.
ReplyDeleteMore power to UNTV LIFE!
ReplyDeleteagree today when i see news most are gossip instead of must worthy.
ReplyDeleteThanks God for UNTV Life! A must follow station. Caring not only for the elderly but for everybody.
ReplyDeleteIn the Philippines there are a lot of money making politician departments, so much with the prominent media networks. KUDOS to UNTV and staff for being fair in the broadcast industry.
ReplyDeleteMATTHEW 23:24 (MKJV)
ReplyDeleteBlind guides who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!....
indeed!!!!
The Filipinos are blessed with the existence of a truthful media network like UNTV that delivers balanced news reports to the nation and around the globe. Its good integrity remains to this day, with the best public service that is the first of its kind in the Philippines. Kudos to Kuya Daniel Razon, UNTV CEO, and to Bro Eli Soriano, Presiding Minister of MCGI and multi-awarded televangelist. To God be the glory!
ReplyDeleteThey cant put a man of God down..
ReplyDeleteTo God be the Glory!I support UNTV!,patuloy sa pagbibigay ng Public Service maibroadcast man o hindi,totoong may pag-ibig at malasakit sa Kapwa tao!
ReplyDeletesana mabago na ang maling sistema ng malalaking network.
ReplyDeleteTotoong totoo! That thing called 'pera pera lang yan'
ReplyDeleteThe Lord Jesus once said, The truth shall make you free. I hope, this truth exposed by Bro. Eli might free many people.
ReplyDeleteIf in religion, there are villains and the hero is Members Church of GOD International, in media, there are also villains and the hero is UNTV. =)
ReplyDeleteTo GOD be the Glory.
To God be the Glory!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, most of the large media companies in the Philippines are corrupt and only care about their own benefit. Thank God there's UNTV news who publicizes news that aim educate and guide our fellowmen.
ReplyDeleteTHANK BE UNTO GOD FOR THIS WONDERFUL ALERT.THESE JOURNALISTS THEY ARE TRULY SHAMELESS.
ReplyDeleteThe blog is really eye-opening. Why is it that "news" nowadays are centered among only the negative side of things/persons/events? But this only happens to persons that are not "good friends (pays well)" with this big media companies. To this i say, more power to UNTV for being truly the only media company that isn't biased in any way!
ReplyDelete#MoneyMakingMedia
Another excellent blog from Mr.Controversy! This is the reality here in the Philippines, big media companies claiming to be “Legal, honest, and truthful,” and “In the service of the Filipino worldwide,” “Not siding with anyone, not protecting anyone; no untruths, just purely service!” are all lies! How come they do not see the good things of other people? Why is is that when something bad is being accused to this people, this big media companies are the first to take the bite? Like what Mr.Controversy and President-elect Duterte said "pera-pera lang yan"! I hope my fellow Filipino citizens will get enlightened by this blog! More power to you Mr.Controversy and more power to the one and only true public service company, UNTV!

Media companies nowadays care more for the money than they care for actual, helpful news! I hope many peoples eyes will be opened by this enlightening blog by Mr.Controversy!

ReplyDeleteBiased media in the Philippines are only after their own selfish benefits. I pity the Filipino people who deserve better service from these corrupt media groups. Thanks be to God that there are people who continue to do good even without any media coverage.
ReplyDeleteSinabi na ng Bibliya... May mga maibigin sa salapi. Pera-pera lang talaga yan. Corrupt media. Oh my Philippines my Philippines... Buti na lang may Bro. Eli.

ReplyDeleteThis is true! Media here in the Philippines are really Biased! Only reporting things that they can get benefit from, but those worthy news like Ang Dating Daan Organization, Libreng Sakay, Medical Missions, Free Education, etc they just ignore. tsk tsk. UNTV lang talaga ako.
ReplyDeleteAs media, aren’t you supposed to be guides to the common tao?

ReplyDeleteWho would forget the condition of a famous network made and given to Bro.Daniel when he was asked to refrain from speaking in front of the congregation of the Church of God International? Was he not given a choice between keeping his job or his church in essence? And he wholeheartedly said, BETWEEN MY JOB OR MY GOD, I WILL CHOOSE MY GOD.
ReplyDeleteWHAT has this got to do with this blog ? Simple. It only exemplified what kind of mental framework even the supposedly intelligent media people from famous network has. That's what happens when you live an ungodly life. You have no biblical principle that would guide you. Your corrupt mind would only care about how others want to run your decisions. There is no holiness in you. Realistically, what TV STATION in the Philippines possess a biblical outline in the media world? I would be bias in saying that even ABS-CBN, GMA7 can NEVER equate with the quality news and truthfulness of UNTV. BECAUSE UNTV is a God-loving and God-fearing broadcast station where journalism is the it's simplest best. I am so certain that if there is a media that will never be paid or bought...that will be UNTV.
A TV STATION uses the slogan to God be the Glory. But stays a slogan so to speak.
We glorify God in the sense of the word. To God be the glory!
Napaka bilis nilang mag magsabi o magreport ng mali/masama, kapag may bayad. Sana sa ginagawa nilang mali ay sawayin nawa sila ng Dios.

ReplyDeleteAmen po...
ReplyDelete"Pera pera lang", naririnig ko na po yan sa mga kakilala kong media dito sa aming lugar. I am sure that Pres. elect digong doterte had numerous experiences on that to the media dahil pag panahon ng POLITICA buhay na buhay ang mga 'yan 'ika nga "PULANG-PULA ANG KANILANG MGA HASANG ayon sa kasabihan.Sana naman po magbago na kayo.

Isang milliong pasasalamant sa DIOS at naanib ako sa tunay na IGLESIANG nasa biblia.
ReplyDeleteThose people who break the code of ethics must take time to ponder on things like "Am I really serving my purpose of existence?" or ask themselves "Do I really deserve to be called a journalist? Or I am just messing things up and misleading people?"
ReplyDeleteTrue!
ReplyDeleteAmen.. A very Nice Blog. The casual News I have seen in the TV,especially in the Giant networks are more nonsense News.The Item posted, printed,or broadcast by news media are not newsworthy! Mostly more Gossips, Than the worthy news.. I hope this is the time to change the way How media is delivering News to the people.. May GOD bless philippines to the New President..
ReplyDeleteNakakalungkot lang isipin na kung alin pa 'yung mga TV station na mas tinatangkilik ng tao ay sila pa itong hindi naman ginagampanan ng tapat at maayos ang kanilang trabaho.
ReplyDeleteNagpapakontrol sa pera, at sa kung sino pang impluwensyal na tao sa Pilipinas na walang ibang iniisip kundi ang ikakabango ng pangalan nila. Buti nalang at may UNTV na maaasahan pagdating sa tapat at malinis na pamamahayag. :)
in Communication arts, we call this "PRAISE RELEASE"
ReplyDeletein favor of petty, in danger of people seeking for truth.
Tama si Mr. Controversy, Nasusuhulan talaga ang mga media naun.
ReplyDeleteI remember Luchi Cruz Valdez (ABS CBN) and Arnold Clavio (Case Unclosed GMA 7) made segments about the rape case of Bro. Eli, and they make it appear like Bro Eli is escaping from interviews about the issues. But the truth is he is not allowed to make any comments about the case because the trial is ongoing. - Leaving a bad impression to the viewers. But when the case was dismissed, did any of the giant networks picked this up and put in on the news? No! As i have said, Leaving a bad impression to the viewers.

ReplyDeleteShameless Journalists Breaking the Code of Ethics
#MoneyMakingMedia
1 Timothy 6:10King James Version (KJV)
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
MOST OF THE JOURNALISM BREAK THEIR ETHIC CODES. Really true now a days, and most of them is not fare and just. Their integrity is questionable.
Keep up the good work thank's be to God
ReplyDeleteYes! As a Media practitioner I observed that many journalist, anchors and reporters breaks the code of ethics mostly on the big networks.. reports are being sensational now a days.. as a media the third world of government we should be the watch dog and not a dog of the government..
ReplyDeleteNakakahiya talaga mga mediang bayaran. Buti na lang may UNTV!!!
ReplyDeleteNice congratulation UNTV37
ReplyDeleteas the bible says....money is a root of all evil...no wonder that some journalists become shameless....pera pera lang yan!
