The Morning After The Hearing On Fake News

I am reprinting the reaction of a fellow vlogger (Ben Gonzales Red) and his commentaries the morning after the hearing on fake news. That includes some of the clipping he prepared for his post.

I agree with him 100 percent, although I censored some of the expletives. Here's what he said:

Etong si Quiambao, sampu ng mga vloggers na nag-iilusyong sila ay journalists, dapat sa mga to ay iblock ang mga media pages nila, kasuhan na at ikulong, nang magtanda. They're libelous, seditious, and just outright unethical and uncouth.

NKKLKA yung statement netong t_ntang ito na "(Now I know) next time before we write these issues, we need to get legitimate documents first."

G_GA! Napaka-fundamental na rule yan ng journalism. "Truth", "accuracy", and "objectivity" are cornerstones of journalism ethics. Obviously hinde mo/nyo alam yan dahil hinde naman kayo talaga journalists.

Slip Of The Tongue

An occasional slip of the tongue ... or a slip of the pen is normal and is quickly forgiven by the person listening or reading... that is ... if they even notice it. Even when they do, most people most of the time will recognize a slip of the tongue or pen for what it is and realize that what you meant to say or write ... is not what you did say or write.

Friend 1: Di ba girlfriend mo si _____?

Friend 2: Hindi muna ... DAY OFF kami!

Friend 1: Anong hindi muna at among DAY OFF? Baka COOL OFF?  Wala lang but I think it is a better term.

Nag-day off lang kayo sa away ninyo!

More Ironies

Arnold Clavio ... the award-winning journalist of GMA7 did not mince any word when he vent the irony he observed in the continuing melodrama after Digong's arrest. He said: "Para saan ang prayer rally kung hindi naman nanniwala sa Diyos ang ipinagdarasal ninyo."

Translation: "I could not understand the logic of these prayer rallies ... when the person you're praying doesn't believe in GOD."

If you are a true-blue Digong rah-rah fanatic ... you will find the comment acerbic ... sarcastic and for sure you want to fire back and blow him up to smithereens. You wonder what has Digong done to be treated this way ... as you leave your punctuation marks and expletives with a BIG bang ... "He doesn't deserve this?"

But I understand where Arnold was coming from. It was an honest question ... just wanting a truthful answer. The same question haunts me as I also find it ironic ... "what's the point of doing all this exercise when the man doesn't have any religious bone in his body? Nor does he show respect and reverence to God."

In the same vein ... I also understand your anger and dissent ... that you are only doing what you think is right ... and here comes somebody threatening your peace of mind ... invalidating ... contradicting ... and questioning your motives and your actions.

With all sincerity, I don't blame you if you snap back and say how self-righteous ... sanctimonious ... and hypocritical he is. Which you did!

HORI7ON(호라이즌) ‘COLD’ M/V

Was This A Divine Intervention?

This is Divine Intervention ... plain and simple.  A higher power directly and purposely influenced the storyline in Rodrigo Roa Duterte's saga in Hague Netherlands. 

For some strange reason, the legal head honcho in the ex-president's legal defense was rushed to the hospital, and as of press time, Salvador Medialdea is definitely out and will soon come back to the Philippines.

Harry Roque could not also serve as Digong's legal guru. According to VP Inday his stay in the Netherlands is yet to be established ... and they don't want any complications.

So the final decision was to employ an all-foreign defense team to get Digong out of the woods.

What a clever twist in the plot ... if one looked closely ... the script is being revised and webbed by a Supreme Power - all programmed to use relatable characters aimed to teach a moral and spiritual lesson after the story is told. 

It is likened to parables in the Bible ... they are powerful teaching tools that stimulate us to think, arouse strong feelings, and stir emotions, typically the positive ones ... (for instance the parable of the prodigal son ... the mustard seed ... or The Good Samaritan.)

Imagine a biased man who loathed and despised anything alien or White. And then with the twist of circumstances... he was left alone ... and the only people who could save him from his legal troubles were the very same people he abhors.

No man ... is an island ...no man stands alone. Is this the lesson the heavens want us to learn from Digong's journey? 

The higher power has finally weaved the ending of the story - despite Digong's bias toward anything unfamiliar and foreign (except China perhaps)... Somebody up there is rubbing the situation to his face.  And that's including us ... that we pay more attention and take notice.

All Filipino lawyers were removed from the battlefield (that was the plan) ... and the soldiers he has been rubbing elbows with through the years like Medialdia and Roque with a stroke of His wand suddenly find themselves "inutil" and futile.  Now he has to be contented with whatever help he can get from the people he has long frowned upon.

You see the Supreme Power can't just sit down looking at how the story unfolds.  He wants to be a part of the story himself. He wants to intervene ... and get involved ... to change the story perhaps ... or to leave a lasting lesson everyone should learn from.
