MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – PTV 4 and IBC 13 are reportedly in negotiations with TV host Willie Revillame to bring him in to the government networks.
“So we bring in Willie Revillame – it will be more of a program that will cater to entertainment to the lowest of the lowest among the people,” says IBC 13 President and CEO Jose C. Policarpio, Jr.
As if Filipino audiences need more slapstick shows like EAT BULAGA, Everybody Sing, and It’s Showtime, PTV 4 and IBC 13 are bent on contributing to the dumbing of Filipino TV audiences… at the expense of taxpayers!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – An opinion piece published by Rappler, the least-trusted news brand in the Philippines, argues that (rice) importation is the wrong prescription for the disease that ails Philippine agriculture. It goes on to say that it is the only medicine that President Bongbong Marcos can think of to solve the country’s problem on rice supply and prices.
But where was Rappler when Republic Act No. 11203 was passed and signed by former President Rodrigo Duterte?
The law, authored by businesswoman and trader Senator Cynthia Villar, liberlizes the importation, exportation and trading of rice, lifting the import restriction on rice.
So why blame Marcos for the mess created before he became president?
And, in case Rappler editors and staff weren’t listening, Marcos is doing more than importing rice. He is is making sure that the government’s (NFA’s) buying price for palay will be fair and beneficial to the country’s farmers.
Oh, and did the investigative reporters of Rappler cover the distribution by the president of confiscated hoarded and smuggled rice to poor people in Mindanao?
We don’t think so. It doesn’t fit with their biased narrative.
