Since the late September post on the Facebook page ADMU Freedom Wall #ADMUFreedomWall10175, chatter surrounding allegations of sexual harassment at the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) continues to rage. The original post is cryptic and doesn’t name names. I’m sick and tired of seeing that one “famous” professor on twitter gain a platform off calling…
In light of recent hints of a toxic corporate culture of sexual harassment at ABS-CBN News following charges of such filed by news anchor Gretchen Fullido, starlet Bianca Gonzalez issued this non-opinion on Twitter… Yes, women should support women. But when its women involved in both sides, nawawala ang “babae ako” at nagiging “babae tayo”….
MARIA RESSA’S MESS AT ABS-CBN By Justice Disclosure: I used to work in ANC. I used to watch Maria Ressa on CNN back in the days. You can imagine how happy I was when I heard that she was coming on board as a News Consultant to ABS-CBN to give our news organization the overhaul…
