March 2, 2020 benign0 No Comments

People have nothing better to do, it seems. They even turn hostage situations such as the one currently transpiring at the popular Virra Mall in Greenhills into entertainment for their friends and family. Why else would these people crowd around the scene of the situation armed with their phones taking videos and streaming these over…

An illustrated network of relationships and family interests that bind Grace Poe to ABS-CBN

March 1, 2020February 21, 2022 benign0 No Comments

A web of family ties and relationships past and present form a matrix of interconnection between Senator Grace Poe and embattled media conglomerate ABS-CBN. Indeed, ABS-CBN is not just a broadcast and media network, it is a political network in and of itself. Small wonder that the full might of Yellowtardom is behind ABS-CBN’s “fight”…

Senator Grace Poe possibly in violation of the law due to financial interests in ABS-CBN!

February 29, 2020 benign0 No Comments

We’ve been citing the impropriety in Senator Grace Poe’s leading a Senate “inquiry” into the ABS-CBN franchise renewal “issue”. However, it seems that by merely being a Senator, Poe may already be in violation of the law. In his recent article, Manila Times columnist Bobi Tiglao points out that the Constitution forbids senators from having…

Grace Poe conflict-of-interest laid BARE in interview with Karen Davila on ABS-CBN Senate “inquiry”

February 27, 2020 benign0 No Comments

It seems ABS-CBN had no choice but to face the music on the issue of the bald conflict-of-interest in Senator Grace Poe’s heading of the Senate “inquiry” into the plight of the giant media conglomerate. Poe clearly stammered her way through an interview with Davila as she defended the exercise that all but gave ABS-CBN…

A photo making the rounds on the Net shows Senator Grace Poe and her mom Susan Roces together with ABS-CBN President and CEO Carlo Katigbak in what looks like a social gathering.

Senate “inquiry” headed by Grace Poe gave ABS-CBN a platform for emotional blackmail

February 25, 2020 benign0 No Comments

It was like letting lose a cat in a cage full of mice. No less than Senator Bong Go was moved by the Atenista English and grace of ABS-CBN President and CEO Carlo Katigbak to “appeal to President Rodrigo Duterte” to renew the network’s franchise “for the sake of its 11,000 workers”. ABS-CBN, after all,…

President Duterte should distance himself from Senator Bong Go

February 24, 2020February 24, 2020 ilda No Comments

The top executives of ABS-CBN conducted themselves with dignity, grace, and respect during today’s Senate inquiry into its franchise renewal imbroglio. With that as his backdrop, Senator Bong Go stood out in stark contrast. In one misguided statement, Go did the administration of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte an astounding disservice. Sen. Bong Go says he…

Senate “inquiry” into the ABS-CBN franchise renewal issue will likely achieve NOTHING!

February 24, 2020 benign0 No Comments

One wonders what the Senate “inquiry” into the plight of the embattled ABS-CBN network will actually achieve. According to House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano, the House of Representatives have more “urgent” matters to tackle and this backlog means ABS-CBN will be an agenda for them “in May at the earliest”. Unless the Senate is in…
