While the rest of the Philippines was working hard to continue pushing for national unity and development, some in Metro Manila have made noises again. Naman! Why can't they push for change silently yet effectively? Everyone knows their moves. What is this, a pool game? They should play it like chess.
Last Friday and again yesterday (Sunday), ABS-CBN and ANC were the only tv stations making blow-by-blow accounts of the activities of those days. And they were saying many times that media was not sleeping, was watching every move. True, perhaps. But why only them, doing the blow-by-blow? Are they the only ones in media then? Or don't they have any other show in their schedules. Oh, right, Wowowee has stopped airing for some time, so they might really have open time slots. And Sunday? Maybe Korina didn't have any show produced on her Balitang K, a friend of mine speculated. And why no show produced? We wonder.
Were the other media outlets afraid that government will take over their operations, especially that we are under the state of emergency, if they do this type of broadacast? Or are they only doing what is prudent? or right? or do they just don't care? or simply that the events did not merit more that the usual hourly updates and the local evening news broadcasts? You tell me.
The fact that ABS-CBN and ANC were not taken off the air should say something about the state of things, right?
Did anyone get to watch the premier telecast of the new Sharon Cuneta show on ABS-CBN last night? Or was it pre-empted by the "special coverage"? I don't know. I turned off the tv set when the scheduled start of Sharon's show passed, with ABS-CBN not saying anything about it. Perhaps I missed any announcement made. And I missed Shawie's show. Naman!
