When Fingers Are Pointed At You

Ang mga chismosa ... wala silang PAKIALAM kung anong mga klaseng basura ang kinakabit sa pangalan mo ... basta scandal at balitang pagpiyestahan  ... aba eh sila ay nasa frontline .. at ini-exagerate pa nila ang mga balita for a much needed impact at para lalo pagusapan.

May PAKIALAM lang sila kung sila na yong pinagchismisan ...  when the tables are turned ... where the accusing fingers are reversed and the weather vanes are pointing to his direction. Lumalabas pati litid nila kung magalit. They cried foul ... and they always declared they were victims. Bakit kaya hindi nila iniisip yan noong bumubula ang bibig nila sa paninira sa iba?

Similarly, self-righteous and sanctimonious people see nothing but WRONG in others but become myopic when they can't see any WRONG in them ... and what they do.

Parang kaso ng ABS CBN at SMNI. When NTC ordered a cease and desist order to stop the network from its broadcast ABS CBN cried foul and said this was an attack on press freedom. Harry Roque (ex-presidential spokesperson) was quick to the rescue and spread himself too wide to counter the narrative. 

When SMNI struck a discordant note with Congress lately ... to the point where its franchise is considered for revocation or suspension ... Harry Roque of all people used the same tactic - the freedom of expression card and called all members of the media to unite and protect SMNI at all costs. 

Gosh, this character ... is fast becoming a caricature. Roque's personality traits have become exaggerated ... and distorted to the point of being absurd.
