Paul Farol, a good friend and colleague, told me that SOLAR ENTERTAINMENT has just convinced this administration to hand over RPN 9 to them. SOLAR daw wants to fire the remaining 2,000 employees of RPN 9.
Is this part of the private-public initiative---selling government assets to the detriment of the people? By God, what is happening to this government?
What are you in power for? Hindi ba your mandate is make every government agency efficient and functioning properly? Are you telling us that you don't know how to re-build RPN 9, the former TV network which ONCE lead the media industry?
If TV5 successfully turn itself around, I have full faith that RPN 9, through support of the private and public sector, will also regain its lost glory.
YOU WANT A WAR?
WHY HAND OVER RPN 9 TO SOLAR ENTERTAINMENT? For the many years that SOLAR ENTERTAINMENT handled the primetime slot of the station, the station did not grow. The network's situation even worsened.
SOLAR entertainment is like a leech, a parasite, that got most of the profits from the station. And then here comes the AQUINO government telling us that SOLAR is the fittest man for the job, of what? Of sipping off the revenues and creative juices of RPN 9? Of making RPN 9, a milking cow?
TAMAD KASI ANG MGA TAO SA AQUINO ADMINISTRATION, ANG ALAM PURO BENTA.
BAKIT PA KAYO NARIRIYAN SA PUWESTO? HINDI BA ANG ROLE NINYO, BILANG TAGA-GOBYERNO, PAGANAHIN ANG MGA AGENSYA UPANG TUMUBO MAN LANG? IBIG BAGA NINYONG SABIHIN, WALA NA KAYONG MAISIP NA MAGAWA PA PARA SA RPN 9?
KALOKOHAN!!! TAMAD LANG KAYO, MGA TAGA AQUINO ADMINISTRATION! AT ANG KATAMARAN AT KATIWALIAN NINYO AY NAGIGING SANHI NG PAGKALUGMOK NG IBA.
I call upon all groups to support the cause of the 2,000 labourers and employees of RPN 9----RESIST THIS DASTARDLY PLAN OF THE ADMINISTRATION TO HAND OVER THE STATION TO SOLAR ENTERTAINMENT!!
TO ARMS, MY FRIENDS, TO ARMS!
IF THIS PUSHES THROUGH, I PROMISE TO EXPOSE EVERY DIRT, EVERY PERSONAL CALUMNITY, EVEN FILTH OF THIS ADMINISTRATION AND OF SOLAR ENTERTAINMENT.
AND MORE THAN 2,000 PEOPLE WILL DECLARE THEIR OWN WAR AGAINST THE AQUINO ADMINISTRATION.

Pnoy should do something about IBC-13 and RPN9
A brief scuffle happened inside the Broadcast city compound yesterday between members of the IBC13 union and its president. Union members want an audience with their president. A certain presidential appointee by the name of "de Asis" allegedly refused to face his detractors.
Apparently, my good old friend, Joe Javier already resigned and replaced by a certain de Asis, whom, many of my friends there said, is allegedly and patently, corrupt. Some of the union members accuse the IBC 13 board of draining the coffers of the already cash-strapped TV network.
Since the government took over the operations of IBC13 and RPN9 in 1986, it has pretty much been downhill ever since for the two stations. Before 1986, both stations have lorded it over the ratings game. Now, due to years of mismanagement, both stations have totally disintegrated. Appointees from the palace drained it of its funds and made both stations their milking cows.
I was part of the RPN9 news team during the Ramos and Estrada administrations. I enjoyed my stay with RPN 9 since we were like family. It broke my heart though when the Arroyo administration assigned unscrupulous people to head the RPN9 board (with the exclusion of one, Ichu's husband Kata Flores). I made the heart-breaking decision to resign my post as Producer/Reporter and went on in a struggle to fight them.
Now, ten years had past and the situation in my beloved TV station remains the same. RPN9's funds are being enjoyed by other people who bought its primetime airtime. IBC 13 is worse.
It is time for the new administration to change both stations' fate by allowing its full privatization. Or, if the administration does not want to privatize, then, subsidize its operations and allow it to recover.
The situation of both IBC13 and RPN 9 are reflections of government ineptitude in management. It would be best if government decides to lend a hand in rehabilitating both stations.
