My friend and I debated the question whether PGMA was unfairly treated by the Media. My answer would be ‘YES’. The media was not very kind to her. They were so harsh to her even though the accusations that they’ve been throwing are recycled accusations without any evidence. ABiaS CBNs desire to bring down PGMA in a way affected how other countries perceived the Philippines. If you watch ABiaS CBN shows you’ll think that our country is the worst country in the world. The exaggerated and irresponsible reporting of these Oligarch owned media does not help in shaping our image abroad. Filipinos who live outside the Philippines for years are even afraid to go back home for the reason that they fear for their lives.
I don’t think that ABiaS CBN was able to bring down Gloria (she’s still standing) but they were successful in painting the grim picture of our country. The fact that our country was able to withstand the economic slowdown means that something good was done all along. We’re lucky that our financial system is well in placed. God knows kung anong kahirapan ang ating makakamtan kung dinanas natin ang nadanasan ng ibang bansa. The media still believes that good news doesn’t sell so they did all they could in order to bring down Gloria. The only explanation of their hatred to Gloria is that these media organizations are owned by the Oligarchs. They’d protect their investments first and foremost. They themselves do not believe in their slogan ‘Panig sa Bayan, Panig sa Katotohanan’. For them, it’s their business interest first before anything else.
That’s why in the later part of PGMAs term, she never failed to remind people of her achievements. Her critics belittled her achievements. Well, they’re entitled to voice their opinion but they can never deny her achievements. The media is not supportive of her so how else can she tell people of her achievements other than telling them herself. History will judge her kindly.
To PGMA, Thank you very much at Maraming Salamat, Madam President!

NAPANOOD ko ang serye ng pamana ni gloria, and i feel she did it well, considering she is a woman, a weaker vessel to run a third world country.
you are right about it, its all about how the media informs people, kasi if she is really that bad, wala na sigurong investors sa bansa.
BAKA KAYA NG ABSCBN I run ang country, well see.
i agree that bias ang ABS (super bias) and I also agree that damo ti naubra si GMA but there are loads of times na nagkasala siya.
hambal gani sang iba biskan damo pa ang mayad mo na binuhatan kung gamay malan makabenepisyo mas damo pa ang makadumdum sang sala mo.
