How Many More Must Die?

Statement of the University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication

On the second anniversary of the November 23, 2009 Ampatuan Massacre

DESPITE President Benigno Aquino III’s pledge that his administration will stop the killing of journalists, twelve have been killed since the Ampatuan Massacre of November 23, 2009 claimed the lives of 58 men and women, of whom 32 were journalists and media workers.

Neither the glacially slow trial of the accused in that massacre, nor the pledge Mr. Aquino made in his 2010 State of the Nation Address that he will “hold murderers accountable,” has made much of an impression on those who resent press attention. Not only have journalists been killed since November 2009. A number have also been threatened, sued for libel on the flimsiest grounds, barred from attending interviews and press conferences, and physically assaulted. In one of the more recent incidents, unidentified persons also burned a Catholic Church-owned radio station in Occidental Mindoro.

Mr. Aquino’s “hold murderers accountable” statement was the last he has made about the murder of journalists. He has since been silent on the subject, although he has criticized the press from time to time for its alleged bias against his administration and focus on his personal life.

Shh-Boom / Kokak on TV5'S Star Confessions [30 March 2011 / Wednesday, after Mga Nagbabagang Bulaklak]

Rachel Lobangco, more popularly known as "Shh-Boom" in the memorable San Miguel Beer tv commercial and as the titular character in her hit debut movie "Kokak," reveals intimate and private details about herself [from feeling abandoned as a child, to being ridiculed and lacking confidence for being dusky, to her rise to stardom, to becoming a household name], her tabloid-worthy loves and heartaches, her painful journey back to near-obscurity, her passion for fire-dancing, and the salvation she has found in her daughter.

Rachel "Shh-Boom / Kokak" Lobangco makes her confession on 30 March 2011 / Wednesday after Mga Nagbabagang Bulaklak on TV5's Star Confessions.

Willie Revillame Did NOTHING Wrong Support Group on Facebook

Did Willie Revillame do anything wrong? Is he uncouth? Is he mayabang? Is he manyakis? Is he guilty of rigging the results of the games on Wowowee? Does he go around feeling like he's above everyone else?

Well, not according to these people.

I found this support group page on Facebook for Willie Revillame the other day. We heard the Anti-Willie's vent their anger over and over again. And I thought it was about time we paid attention to what the Pro-Willie's had to say... all 28 of them.

The first screen cap is the main page, and the one below it is the whole thread of support for Papi. In order to read the text, though, you will have to click the pix to enlarge them.

UPCMC's Assessment of the state of media under PGMA

Under Siege and Fighting Back
An Assessment of the State of the Philippine Media

University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication (UP CMC)
led by Dean Roland B. Tolentino, 24 faculty members, 5 staff,
11 student organizations and the UP CMC Student Council

Philippine media have been under siege since Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo came to power. The hostile environment her watch has created, unprecedented since the Marcos period, has undermined the constitutionally protected freedom of expression in general and press freedom in particular.

The killing of journalists persists. More than half of the journalists killed during the post-Marcos period were killed during the Macapagal-Arroyo administration. Only in three cases – the murder of Edgar Damalerio, Marlene Esperat and Armando Pace – have the killers been convicted. However, no mastermind has been prosecuted.

A slew of libel cases, of which those filed by First Gentleman Mike Arroyo are the most obvious evidence of regime hostility to criticism, transparency and press freedom, have been filed against critical journalists. Media groups and at least one journalist, Carlos Conde, have been tagged as enemies of the state either by the military’s infamous “Knowing the Enemy” presentation or its 2007 Order of Battle in Davao.

The imposition of a state of national emergency in 2006 highlighted the hostility of the administration towards the free press as media organizations were put under surveillance and threatened with sedition charges. The mass arrests of journalists during the Manila Peninsula siege in November 2007 also show not just the government’s ignorance of the workings of the press but also its contempt for press freedom.

Macapagal-Arroyo and other officials profess their commitment to press freedom, but their statements have proven to be nothing but lip service. The list of cases of media repression since 2001 is endless. The imprisonment of Davao broadcaster Alex Adonis as a result of a libel case filed against him by the Speaker of the House of Representatives shows how government officials can use the law to silence and intimidate those who are critical of the powers-that-be. Broadcast journalist Cheche Lazaro was sued for wiretapping by a government official as a result of her work in exposing corruption. Journalists who went to Maguindanao were briefly detained when they covered the conflict there. All are the result of an atmosphere the Arroyo administration has created which encourages media repression.

It should not come as a surprise therefore that the country has been tagged as the second most dangerous place in the world after Iraq to practice journalism.

Not only are journalists targeted by this repressive regime. Even those in the broadcast and film industries suffer from harassment and intimidation, mainly in the form of prior restraint. The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has been criticized for giving an “X” rating to films that are critical of the administration like “Ang Mabuhay para sa Masa,” “Rights,” “Mendiola” and “A Day in the Life of Gloria.”

Under these circumstances, the media have fought back to uphold and protect press freedom and free expression. There now exists a de facto alliance among media organizations and other cause-oriented groups as the former fight the administration’s hostility towards the press. The Freedom Fund for Filipino Journalists (FFFJ) was established precisely in response to the unabated killings. Various media groups have issued position papers against onerous bills like the right of reply and to campaign for access to information and the decriminalization of libel. The UP Film Institute played a major role in the re-establishment of the Task Force Free the Artists (TFFTA) to fight censorship.

Aware of the current administration’s hostility towards press freedom, the College reaffirms its commitment to help media and journalist organizations defend press freedom, and to be part of the de facto alliance that, by resisting the Arroyo administration’s attack on the press and working for the enhancement of professional and ethical media practice, is at the same time defending what remains of Philippine democracy. The College will remain vigilant and continue to watch her, her government and all her minions; and remain critical of all her actions.

Consistent with the call of the University Council of UP Diliman as early as 2005 for President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s resignation, the UP College of Mass Communication believes that her removal from office can help create a better media environment in the country. Let it not be said that the College chooses to be silent as media repression continues under this administration.

one of the millions of reasons why i don't--but must--watch tv

i just want to share with everyone this message i posted on our m.a. class mailing list.


MEDIO MEDIA: last meeting, when i said i didn't watch tv, i didn't mean it to come off rude. i grew up in a quite remote and backward little barrio in pulilan, bulacan. and the whole village didn't have electricity until i was about 8 or 9 years old. every siesta time, my mother would let us listen to radio dramas: mga mata ni anghelita, etc to put us to sleep, and gabi ng lagim, ito kaya'y totoo, etc (with sabatini fernandez, estrella kuenzler, etc) before we go to bed at night.

finally, when electricity came, so did tv, karaoke, etc. and it changed our lives. we were thrilled. i was addicted to afternoon animes (voltes v, grendizer, daimos, etc). in fact, i was so hooked to these animes that when marcos banned it (because he thought it was too violent for kids. duh! marcos condemning violence?) my friends and i retaliated by cursing him. that was probably the very first time i ever got involved in politics.

until i went to high school and rpn 9 (is it still rpn?) went 24/7. i was so glued to tv that i actually faked making assignments so i could stay and sleep in the sala. and all i was watching the whole time was replays of the gods must be crazy 1, 2, 3 and 4. they aired all four every night. and i watched cathy santillan reporting every night. needless to say, i lost a lot of precious sleep while i was growing up. probably the reason why hindi ako tumangkad. yup, i'm blaming tv for that.

that's why right now, i don't watch tv anymore. several years ago, i bought a tv set and i had cable. i thought i was all grown up and i could control my tv-watching habits. but it turned out it wasn't true. then i modified it a bit and told myself i'd just let tv in the background while i was reading or writing (those who write and/or work at home must know this). but it wasn't true either. so when it conked out last year, i tried very hard to resist the temptation of having it repaired or replaced. and now i am slowly rehabilitating myself, and recovering what's left of my humanity--kidding. i mean, i am trying to re-channel my time, energy and creativity to other worthwhile tasks. (and then comes internet... haaay, it's a never ending struggle.)

anyway, my point is that (yup, i may have a point) tv is highly addictive. i realized that when an individual abuses tv, it's actually tv that's abusing him/her. especially now that all the stations have gotten very competitive and they want dominance over each other (ratings-wise, not necessarily content- or value-wise), they're not satisfied with making unsuspecting preys not *change the dial.* they want them to tune in to their respective channels and get hooked.

probably it also helped that i worked in some tv shows of most local channels. i was part of the illusion-making process. i knew some of the tricks and how they did it. my first disappointment was when some years ago, i was told by my superior that they were giving me certain assignments because i knew how to make the subjects (drum roll) cry. that was when i realized that what i was doing was wrong, unethical and abusive. and i had an epiphany after that conversation: everything on tv is fake. they're there to make us laugh and cry and buy the shampoos and detergent bars paying for their prodcost (can i be more cliché?).

i admit that i will have to be involved in media--either as part of the team that produces the content or as a viewer--to make my observations (and bashings--kidding) as accurate as possible. i know that we can't and mustn't separate ourselves from this phenomenon if we are to make sensible conclusions--as media practitioners, students, critics, scholars and as individuals living in a world where media continue to evolve to suit our wants and the needs of the people who run them.

but we all know that already. so i'll just shut up.
