FYI lang Senator Noynoy!
HINDI pa man
naiproproklama si Senator
Noynoy Aquino bilang presi-
dent-elect, nagkakabangayan
na ang mga taong nakapaligid
sa kanya dahil sa pag-aagawan
ng mga puwesto sa kanyang
magiging administrasyon.
Maraming paksyon ang
nakapaligid kay Aquino. Ang
iba’t-ibang grupong ito ay pare-
parehong malaki ang naitulong
sa kampanya ng senador noong
kasagsagan ng eleksyon at kanya-
kanya silang brasuhan ngayon
para sa mga magagandang
puwesto sa magiging
administrasyong Aquino.
Isa sa mga paksyong ito ay
ang Hyatt 10. Ang mga miyembro
ng grupong ito ay kinabibilagan
ng mga dating tauhan ni
Pangulong Arroyo na
nagpatawag ng press confer-
ence sa Hyatt Hotel noong July
8, 2005, at hiniling kay Arroyo
na mag-resign sa kasagsagan
ng Hello Garci controversy.
Kamakailan lang, sa isang
pagpupulong, hayagang pinuri
ni Aquino si Dinky Soliman,
isa sa mga miyembro ng Hyatt
10 at dating sanggang-dikit na
DSWD secretary ni Arroyo.
Ipinangako rin ni Aquino kay
Soliman ang dati niyang
posisyon.
Ngayon naman, pumuputok
ang pangalan ni Guillermo
Parayno, isa pa ring kasapi ng

OKAY ang binitiwang salita
ni Movie and Television Re-

chairperson Consoliza
Marissa P. Laguardia na hindi
siya kapit-tuko sa puwestong
kanyang inuokupa sa ngayon.
Mas okey ang sinabi niyang
handa siyang makiisa sa
paglilipat ng kapangyarihan
sa ilalim ng bagong
administrasyon ng susunod
na pangulo ng bansa.
Okay na okay din si
Laguardia dahil wala siyang
pakialam sa mga balitang
papalitan siya kaagad kapag
naupo si President apparent
Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III.

2010 Election Coverage Showed
Improvements – Media Watchdog
THE media watchdog Center for Media Freedom and Re-
sponsibility (CMFR) said, over-all, the media did a better job
in covering the 2010 elections than in previous elections.
However, there were still some lapses and mistakes.
Best Practices
There may have been inconsistencies in the election cov-
erage, but the press also showed improvements in terms of
organizing forums, debates and public affairs programs to
provide a venue where the different candidates could present
their platform to the general public. The media was also able
to provide better coverage because it prepared well months
before the elections. News anchors were better prepared and
senior reporters were assigned to different locations to be
more effective in their news reporting.
New media such as social networking sites specifically
Facebook and Twitter helped in the quick delivery of infor-
mation to the public. Aside from this, citizen journalism also
flourished in this year ’s election coverage. ABS-CBN’s Boto
Mo, Ipatrol mo, GMA’s You Scoop and TV 5’s JournalisMo
are just examples of the media’s campaign to involve the
public in the drive for a clean elections. According to Teodoro,
citizen journalism boosts the credibility of media and gives
the public the image of being politically aware.
Lapses
“Our elections are decided by money politics or how much
a candidate can spend for advertising” said Teodoro. Only
those who had the money to advertise emerged as winners
because the media was not covering the other candidates
who are also qualified but do not have enough resources to
pay for ads.
The CMFR also observed that the media focused its cover-
age more on the presidentiables to the detriment of the can-
didates for vice-president, senators and party list groups.
“There is very little coverage on the senatorial campaign
and elections,” Teodoro said.
Aside from the senatorial bets, party list groups appeared
to be the least priority of media networks in their election
coverage. “Party list elections were not covered. There is not
enough explanation as to what party list elections are all
about. Instead, the media focused on the statement of Com-
mission on Elections (COMELEC) chairman Jose Melo ex-
plaining the requirements for nominees of party list groups,
especially after party-list group Ang Galing Pinoy announced
that its first nominee would be Mikey Arroyo, the son of Pres.
Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Thus, party-list groups of tradi-
tional politicians and moneyed clans had the advantage of
having a lot of funds and resources for campaigning. This
defeats the purpose of party-list elections, which is to pro-
vide representation to marginalized sectors and groups.
The pre-mature release of so-called “reports”, which turned
out to be merely part of the usual mudslinging and black pro-
paganda being thrown by candidates against each other, is
also one of the glaring mistakes in media coverage of the elec-
tion campaign and elections. Examples of these are the sup-
posed psychiatric evaluation report on Sen. Noynoy Aquino
and the alleged photos of the mansions of Sen. Manny Villar.
When asked about the propriety of media agencies hav-
ing a clear bias for certain candidates, Teodoro said, “There
may be individual biases, but there should be no institu-
tional bias. The Philippine Daily Inquirer was clearly root-
ing for Aquino. Two of its columnists admitted that they were
participating in Aquino’s campaign. It is a violation of me-
dia ethics if a columnist uses his or her column to campaign,
but if he or she is merely expressing an opinion in the col-
umn, then it is legitimate.”
Moreover, the CMFR observed that media networks owned
and controlled by the government were clearly focused on
the campaign of Lakas Kampi-CMD presidential bet Gilbert
Teodoro, and other candidates in its ticket. Bulatlat.com

Our Daily Bread

You may be familiar with the list of seven deadly sins that was formulated during
the sixth century: lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, vengeance, envy, and pride. But you
may not know that the original list compiled during the fourth century also included
the sin of sadness. Over the years, that emotion was omitted from the inventory.
Some people are blessed with a cheerful disposition. They always seem to be
happy. They wear a perpetual smile almost as if they were advertising toothpaste.
But then there are others who seem to be chronically sad. They continually complain
about life and its burdens. And who can deny that afflictions are discouraging?
While we acknowledge that not everybody is blessed with a bright outlook on life,
we need to remember that joy is one of the gifts Jesus promised to His followers. And
we need to resist any tendency to let sadness dominate our emotional lives.
Jesus promised His disciples on the night Judas betrayed Him, “Your joy no one
will take from you” (John 16:22). Remember that joy is the fruit of the indwelling
Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:22). Let’s ask the Lord to help us look beyond our sorrowful
circumstances and encourage our hearts by the vision of joy that awaits us (Heb.
12:2). — Vernon C. Grounds
You alone, Lord Jesus, can true joy impart, For You know the sorrow of the
human heart; You came here from glory many hearts to win
And in love for sinners suffered once for sin. —Anon.
Joy is a fruit of the Spirit that’s always in season.
